I cannot imaging anyone looking at the sky and denying God.

I know that books I have written will still resonate in 50 years - particularly 'My Sister's Keeper.' It has sold three million copies in the States alone. I strongly feel that, as a novelist, you have a platform and the ability to change people's minds.

Jodi Picoult

There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The journey is the reward.

Chinese Proverb

Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.

Juvenal

Love is the only thing that will save us, independent of any mistakes we may make. Love is always stronger.

Paulo Coelho

I don't exist when you don't see me.

Sisters Of Mercy

Develop interest in life as you see it in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Henry Miller

As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it. And this is the last vice to be conquered.

Leonardo DaVinci, note book

From an early age I didn't buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine-to-five job. I thought creativity, friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting.

Adam Clayton

The abdication of belief makes the behavior small -- better an ignis fatuus than no illume at all.

Emily Dickinson

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.

Diogenes

Because no one needs to live for ever. I think that sometimes you can outstay your welcome.
