My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There's no way I can control him. I wouldn't stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.

No one is as deaf as the man who will not listen.

Yiddish Proverb

Because you have seen something doesn't mean you can explain it. Differing interpretations will always abound, even when good minds come to bear. The kernel of indisputable information is a dot in space; interpretations grow out of the desire to make this point a line, to give it direction. The directions in which it can be sent, the uses to which it can be put by a culturally, professionally, and geographically diverse society are almost without limit. The possibilities make good scientists chary.

Barry Lopez

Friedrich Nietzsche

And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.

Elton John

Isaac Asimov

Like some dogs: kick them once and they never trust you again, no matter how nice you are to them.

Stephen King

The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

To talk about a relationship trivializes something that's nobody's business.

Jennifer Aniston

If you need a miracle, be a miracle.

Phillip C. McGraw

Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul and you answer.
