Oscar Wilde

The consequences of every act are included in the act itself.

George Orwell

Heroes didn't leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.

Jodi Picoult

Ambrose Bierce

They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth.

Dame Barbara Ward

Everyone loathes his own country and countrymen if he is any sort of artist.

Lawrence Durrell

Habit is second nature.

Michel de Montaigne

I'm not stupid!' In Bean's experience, that was a sentence never uttered except to prove its own inaccuracy.

Orson Scott Card

Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
