My goal in sailing isn't to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run.

In God's economy, nothing is slag, nothing is wasted. Every relationship we build is a teacher, every experience we have is a coach. In every scar there is a lesson. In every memory there lives potential to make more.

Toni Sorenson

I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.

Tallulah Bankhead

You had to know a person well to make them laugh like that.

Cassandra Clare

I guess I have an eclectic taste, I don't just like one thing. Contrast is key. What do they say? Variety is the spice of life. My favorite actors are the chameleons, guys like Daniel Day-Lewis, Billy Bob Thornton, Meryl Streep, people who are always different.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Buddhism notes that it is always a mistake to think your soul can go it alone.

Annie Dillard

Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.

Rashida Jones

Lafcadio Hearn

My goal on my bucket list is to write a romantic comedy movie.

Lynda Barry

No man is much regarded by the rest of the world. He that considers how little he dwells upon the condition of others, will learn how little the attention of others is attracted by himself. While we see multitudes passing before us, of whom perhaps not one appears to deserve our notice or excites our sympathy, we should remember, that we likewise are lost in the same throng, that the eye which happens to glance upon us is turned in a moment on him that follows us, and that the utmost which we can reasonably hope or fear is to fill a vacant hour with prattle, and be forgotten.

Samuel Johnson

Milan Kundera

What is the biggest obstacle facing the family right now? It is over-commitment; time pressure. There is nothing that will destroy family life more insidiously than hectic schedules and busy lives, where spouses are too exhausted to communicate, too worn out to have sex, too fatigued to talk to the kids. That frantic lifestyle is just as destructive as one involving outbroken sin. If Satan can't make you sin, he'll make you busy, and that's just about the same thing.

Dr. James Dobson

Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
