Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.

The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.

Albert Camus

I love all of it, thinking up the plots, getting to know the kids in the story, their parents, backyards, pizza toppings.

Caroline B. Cooney

I love to eat, and if I could, I'd eat every second of my life.

Maria Sharapova

I may be learning guitar, but I'll never be able to sing.

David Duchovny

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way--everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want--which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants--everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression gainst any neighbor--anywhere in the world.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Humility is not my forte, and whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to seem mild, harmless, rather engaging little things, not at all like the staring defects in other people's characters.

Margaret Halsey

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

Jim Carrey

I am not a literary man. I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.

Jim Murray

I'm a movie nut. I go to the movies probably twice a week, and if I'm not doing anything at night, I'm usually watching a movie or two.

Dominic Monaghan

If you want to see mankind fully, look at a family. Within the family minds become organically one, and for this reason the family is total poetry.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

G. K. Chesterton
