The gods' service is tolerable, man's intolerable.

I'm not afraid of chaos and I'm happy talking to strangers. I really love not knowing where I'm going.

Fiona Shaw

Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

Bobby Orr

The cool thing about writing is that there is really never a typical day. Sometimes I get a rhythm going and head off to work every morning and come home at night. Sometimes I'll write for two days straight and then be utterly blank for the next two.

Patricia Briggs

To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.

J. Paul Getty

The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.

William Shakespeare

What is flirtatiousness but an argument that life must go on and on and on?

Kurt Vonnegut

Everyone says he's sincere, but everyone isn't sincere. If everyone was sincere who says he's sincere there wouldn't be half so many insincere ones in the world and there would be lots, lots, lots more really sincere ones!

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

People on death row, the treatment of animals, women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world!

Eddie Vedder

The most common objection that I hear to walking as exercise is that it's too easy, that only sweaty, strenuous activity offers real benefits. But there is abundant evidence that regular, brisk walking is associated with better health, including lower blood pressure, better moods and improved cholesterol ratios.

Andrew Weil

He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes.

Herman Melville

In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women.

Theodor Reik

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.

Sarah McLachlan
