I have grown into a Bestsellasaurus Rex -- a big, stumbling book-beast that is loved when it shits money and hated when it tramples houses... I started out as a storyteller; along the way I became an economic force.

I've never been poor, only broke. Being poor is a frame of mind. Being broke is only a temporary situation

Mike Todd

The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but the consequences and rules of action drawn from it.

Albert Camus

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.

Bebe Neuwirth

I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks it's what children bring into school with them.

Johann Lamont

It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.

Georges Duhamel

Man is not imprisoned by habit. Great changes in him can be wrought by crisis--once that crisis can be recognized and understood.

Norman Cousins

The rapid dissemination of technology and information offers entirely new ways of production, but it can also bring the spectre of more states developing weapons of mass destruction.

Lord Robertson

There are memories that time can't erase, Clarissa. Ask your friend, Magnus Bane, if you don't believe me. Forever does not make loss forgettable. Only bearable.

Cassandra Clare

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Yogi Berra

A poem begins with a lump in the throat, a home-sickness or a love-sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where the emotion has found its thought and the thought has found the words.

Robert Frost

We may enjoy our room in the tower, with the painted walls and the commodious bookcases, but down in the garden there is a man digging who buried his father this morning, and it is he and his like who live the real life and speak the real language.

Virginia Woolf

Dreaming permits each and everyone of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.

William Dement
