There is the happiness which comes from creative effort. The joy of dreaming, creating, building, whether in painting a picture, writing an epic, singing a song, composing a symphony, devising new invention, creating a vast industry.

I travel in so many different ways I travel high, I rough it... it all depends on who I travel with.

Diane von Furstenberg

I would have rummaged, ransacked at the word; Those old odd corners of an empty heart; For remnants of dim love the long disused, And dusty crumbling of romance!

Robert Browning

My dad had emphysema and both of my parents had chronic bronchitis and ended up with cancers - all smoking related.

Loni Anderson

There comes a moment in life when one must acknowledge that you just can't keep looking back into your past for reasons to keep someone in your present and future. Regardless of how much looking that cruel reality in the eye hurts...memories can't be enough.

Eiry Nieves

Our lives are fed by kind words and gracious behavior. We are nourished by expressions like excuse me and other such simple courtesies... Rudeness, the absence of the sacrament of consideration, is but another mark that our time-is-money society is lacking in spirituality, if not also in its enjoyment of life.

Ed Hays

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.

Albert Pike

Chris Hedges

The future and eternity are two entirely different things.

Doug Coupland

Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity.

Coco Chanel

Very often we are our own worst enemy as we foolishly build stumbling blocks on the path that leads to success and happiness.
