You are more to me than any of them has any idea; you are the atmosphere of beauty through which I see life; you are the incarnation of all lovely things...I think of you day and night. ~ Letter to Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas

I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room.

Mercedes McCambridge

Two great talkers will not travel far together.

Proverb

Success consists of doing the common things of life uncommonly well.

First we attacked the Russian soldiers with our gases, and then when we saw the poor fellows lying there, dying slowly, we tried to make breathing easier for them by using our own life-saving devices on them.

Otto Hahn

Only those who spread treachery, fire, and death out of hatred for the prosperity of others are undeserving of pity.

Jose Marti

Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next.

Herbert Hoover

It would be great if politics were fact-based, but it is not, and it is surely not nuance-based. What works in a classroom or a think tank does not work on Capitol Hill or in the White House. Obama sometimes seems to be running the Brookings Institution, not the country.

Jon Meacham

Imitation is suicide.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.

Aristotle

Beauty as we feel it is something indescribable; what it is or what it means can never be said.

George Santayana

I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.

David Bowie

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
