Growing up happens when you start having things you look back on and wish you could change -Clary Fray

Death and taxes are unsolved engineering problems

Romana Machado

In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.

Jonathan Larson

My dad's a scratch golfer and I've got the knack of seeing something and then replicating it. I saw my dad swing a club and I worked out how to do the same thing. My backswing and follow-through have been basically the same since I was two.

Rory McIlroy

Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.

Samantha Morton

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

John Muir

Is not this insanity plea becoming rather common? Is it not so common that the reader confidently expects to see it offered in every criminal case that comes before the courts? Really, what we want now, is not laws against crime, but a law against insanity.

Mark Twain

What does seem to me poisonous, what breeds a type of patriotism that is pernicious if it lasts but not likely to last long in an educated adult, is the perfectly serious indoctrination of the young in knowably false or biased history - the heroic legend drably disguised as text-book fact. With this creeps in the tacit assumption that other nations have not equally their heroes; perhaps even the belief - surely it is very bad biology - that we can literally 'inherit' tradition.

C.S. Lewis

The human spirit must prevail over technology.

Albert Einstein

One of the chief misfortunes of honest people is that they are cowardly.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.

Eva Young

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

Victor Hugo

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

Roy Orbison
