I just finished my homework fast, I was bored to death. There wasn't 500 channels so there was a thing for a librarian to teach a kid like me about reading. I started reading early and I read all the time, because I love it.

A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.

Mark Twain

Now beggars can be choosers with Cosmic Ordering.

Stephen Richards

A child who has never fantasized about having other parents is seriously lacking in imagination.

Fred G. Gosman

Before drifting away entirely, he found himself reflecting---not for the first time---on the peculiarity of adults. Thet took laxatives, liquor, or sleeping pills to drive away their terrors so that sleep would come, and their terrors were so tame and domestic: the job, the money, what the teacher will think if I can't get Jennie nicer clothes, does my wife still love me, who are my friends. They were pallid compared to the fears every child lies cheek and jowl with in his dark bed, with no one to confess to in hope of perfect understanding but another child. There is no group therapy or psychiatry or community social services for the child who must cope with the thing under the bed or in the cellar every night, the thing which leers and capers and threatens just beyond the point where vision will reach. The same lonely battle must be fought night after night and the only cure is the eventual ossification of the imaginary faculties, and this is called adulthood.

Stephen King

Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.

William Shakespeare

Then we understand that rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love. Those who find no rest in God or in history are condemned to live for those who, like themselves, cannot live; in fact, for the humiliated.

Albert Camus

That is the thankless position of the father in the family - the provider for all, and the enemy of all.

August Strindberg

I consider 'Dr. Horrible' a tremendous success. The fact that it won an Emmy I just think lends validity to what we were doing and the point we were trying to make: taking the power into someone else's hands and changing the world.

Nathan Fillion

Liberals subscribe to the new flexible, pluralistic definition of the family their defense of families carries no conviction.

Christopher Lasch

I never weigh myself, but the brutal truth of television is that they don't employ old people or fat people.

Ruby Wax

It's rude to count people as you pass them. Out loud.

God is the same, even though He has a thousand names; it is up to us to select a name for Him.
