God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.

I've been obsessed with seeing life through music. My records, my relationship with records, my relationship with rock stars, everything that surrounds it, has been really one of the only ways that I ever started to understand the world.

Jeff Tweedy

The duty of man is the same in respect to his own nature as in respect to the nature of all other things, namely not to follow it but to amend it.

John Stuart Mill

Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.

Edward Hoagland

I love the song 'El Rey.' And for years, I never knew what the song was totally about. It was something new for me. I'd never sung a song in Spanish before. Then I got the translation and saw what a really cool song it was.

George Strait

To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse.

Rudolph Valentino

The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

Albert Einstein

Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.

Chief Joseph

It is soooooo necessary to get the basic skills, because by the time you graduate, undergraduate or graduate, that field would have totally changed from your first day of school.

Leigh Steinberg

Life is a journey, not a destination - we determine our destiny by the direction we take.

Anon.

Every moment is an experience.

Jake Roberts

When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign is solitude.

William Wordsworth

I submit all my plays to the National Theatre for rejection. To assure myself I am seeing clearly.
