I just want real reactions. I want people to laugh from the gut, be sad from the gut - or get angry from the gut.

I myself would like to become more disciplined within my work.

Everyone now knows how to find the meaning of life within himself.

Kurt Vonnegut

Opportunities multiply as they are seized, they die when neglected.

John Wicker

Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you; Whatever we were to each other, That we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used, Put no difference in your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together. Let my name ever be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around thecorner. All is well.

Henry Scott Holland, Canon of St

Act well your part; there all honor lies.

Alexander Pope

A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day.

Proverb

How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.

Shel Silverstein

If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free, cause there's a million ways to be, you know that there are...

Cat Stevens

The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.

George Santayana

There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.

John Locke

I assure you. I have no notion of treating men with such respect. That is the way to spoil them.

Jane Austen
