Honest work is much better than a mansion.

Man cannot produce a single work without the assistance of the slow, assiduous, corrosive worm of thought.

Eugenio Montale

There is a great difference between Christianity and religion at the south. If a man goes to the communion table, and pays money into the treasury of the church, no matter if it be the price of blood, he is called religious.

Harriet Ann Jacobs

I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.

Patrick Swayze

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

Aldous Huxley

Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep.

William Maxwell

If Romney explains why where we are with Obama is unacceptable, why whither we are tending is even worse - and why his own alternative path forward is superior - then we trust the American people to make the right choice in November.

Bill Kristol

I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.

Michael Graves

Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start when memory plays an old tune on the heart!

Eliza Cook

I always wanted to be a mom.

Kate Hudson

If there were a science of human beings it would be anthropology that aims at understanding the totality of experience through structural context.

Wilhelm Dilthey

I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams, I always liked California - it's the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees.

Eric Burdon

Bertrand Russell
