But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house that was done many thousands of years ago.

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.

Simone de Beauvoir

You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.

Warren Beatty

I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I touched, instead of having only to look at them. I'm sure life is all wrong because it has become much too visual - we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I'm sure that is entirely wrong.

D.H. Lawrence

All things are sold: the very light of heaven is venal; earth's unsparing gifts of love, the smallest and most despicable things that lurk in the abysses of the deep, all objects of our life, even life itself, and the poor pittance which the laws allow of liberty, the fellowship of man, those duties which his heart of human love should urge him to perform instinctively, are bought and sold as in a public mart of not disguising selfishness, that sets on each its price, the stamp-mark of her reign.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

I don't want to fight aging I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.

Christine Lahti

Four things come not back. The spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, ad the neglected opportunity.

Arabic Proverb

Remember to be as smart as you are.

Judd Nelson

Those most moved to tears by every word of a preacher are generally weak and a rascal when the feelings evaporate.

Sallust

I grew up with just my mom. She and I were like best friends. She's a very independent woman and I admire that about her. In my life, I've tried to be like that. To be okay with being on my own and being independent.

Emma Roberts

Oh, it is sure as it is sad That any lad is every lad, And what's a girl, to dare implore Her dear be hers forevermore? Though he be tried and he be bold, And swearing death should he be cold, He'll run the path the others went.... But you, my sweet, are different.

Dorothy Parker, from Incurable

A word only writes Its night and ridesIts dream.

Dejan Stojanovic

Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill

William Shakespeare
