Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.

You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I'm a normal person. Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I'm learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.

Mahatma Gandhi

You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.

Charles E. Popplestone

It is impossible for a lover of cats to banish these alert, gentle, and discriminating friends, who give us just enough of their regard and complaisance to make us hunger for more.

Quentin Crisp

Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.

Friedrich von Schiller

We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond.

Marcel Proust

Believe nothing, O monks, merely because you have been told it or because it is traditional, or because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beingsthat doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.

Buddha

Such prosperity as we have known up to the present is the consequence of rapidly spending the planet's irreplaceable capital.

Aldous Huxley

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.

Confucius

To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature.

Ernst Fischer
