Not an inch of our territory not a stone of our fortress.

Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.

Oscar Wilde

For many years I was a self-appointed inspector of snowstorms and rainstorms and did my duty faithfully, though I never received payment for it.

Henry David Thoreau

If you do know that here is one hand, we'll grant you all the rest.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.

Tom Robbins

The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.

Confucius

Poetic talent doesn't operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry.

Wislawa Szymborska

The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.

Truman Capote

Your relationship with an agent has got to be mutually beneficial. If you can't help their careers, then they're not going to be interested.

David Steinberg

Everything I do you blame on me.

Source Unknown

And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.

William Shakespeare

It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.

Menander

The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.

Ron Perlman
