The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.

Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place. The greatest pleasure isn't sex, but the passion with which it is practiced. When the passion is intense, then sex joins in to complete the dance, but it is never the principal aim.

Paulo Coelho

Let us banish fear.

Carter G. Woodson

Always remember you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

Harriet Tubman, attributed, also

I've always had God, but now I want to go back to church for the sense of community and that feeling of positive thinking, a place where I can think about being a better person.

Julianne Hough

I desire Virtue, though I love her not-I have no faith in her when she is got:I fear that she will bind and make me slaveAnd send me songless to the sullen grave.

Anna Wickham, SelfAnalysis in Co

One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.

Johann von Goethe

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Error is the force that welds men together; truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth.

Leo Tolstoy

My father used to say superior people never make long visits.

Marianne Moore

I don't have a lot of skills, but one thing I can do is, I can compartmentalize. I can make that a little world that I can go back to, so I can be a waitress, or I can be a teacher, and then go and work on my book.

Dana Spiotta

The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.

Samuel Butler

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!

Emiliano Zapata
