The imagination equips us to perceive reality when it is not fully materialized.

All night I dreamt of bonfires and burn piles and ghosts of men, and spirits behind those birds of flame. I cannot tell anymore when a door opens or closes, I can only hear the frame saying, Walk through.

Ada Limon

I always tell what I believe. Whether it's true, I'm no more sure than any man.

Orson Scott Card

I did not obey your instructions. No. I conformed to the instructions of truth and Nature, and maintained your interest, against your opinions, with a constancy that became me. A representative worthy of you ought to be a person of stability. I am to look, indeed, to your opinions,but to such opinions as you and I must have five years hence. I was not to look to the flash of the day. I knew that you chose me, in my place, along with others, to be a pillar of the state, and not a weathercock on the top of the edifice, exalted for my levity and versatility, and of no use but to indicate the shiftings of every fashionable gale.

Edmund Burke

I have a very bad relationship with mice.

Casey Affleck

Jean Claude Killy

Some beautiful things are more impressive when left imperfect than when too highly finished.

Francois de la Rochefoucauld, Ma

Find what you love and let it kill you.

Charles Bukowski

Our universities and museums are respected around the country.

Jane Byrne

Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love.

Aristotle

We cannot rest until we make sure that our families can afford to live and raise their kids here, that our seniors can remain in their homes and afford their health and pharmaceutical costs.

Carl Lewis

A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!

Theresa May

You shouldn't get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes, yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious.

Kathleen Turner
