If you keep your mind sufficiently open, people will throw a lot of rubbish into it.

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves.

Abraham Maslow

No matter what those sex-ed teachers say about how great condoms are, there's not a condom in the world to protect you from heartbreak.

Natasha Friend

The most important thing in their lives was to have a lawsuit going. It was not a question of winning or losing it, and indeed it was vital to do neither, for otherwise the suit would be over and done with. A lawsuit was part of the personality, if not the only visible sign of it, to such an extent that there was often no real animosity between the litigants, because they both needed each other.

This record has a lot of influences that I'd love to cover, like Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind and Fire. Maybe I'll do some covers of my major influences during my live show.

Jon Secada

I am a positive person and do not allow things to get on top of me.

Jamie Redknapp

In the cold change which time hath wrought on love(The snowy winter of his summer prime),Should a chance sigh or sudden tear-drop moveThy heart to memory of the olden time;Turn not to gaze on me with pitying eyes,Nor mock me with a withered hope renewed;But from the bower we both have loved, ariseAnd leave me to my barren solitude!What boots it that a momentary flameShoots from the ashes of a dying fire?We gaze upon the hearth from whence it came,And know the exhausted embers must expire:Therefore no pity, or my heart will break;Be cold, be careless--for thy past love's sake!

Caroline Norton, The Cold Change

Sri Aurobindo

By the age of twenty, any young man should know whether or not he is to be a specialist and just where his tastes lie. By postponing the question we have set on immaturity a premium which controls most American personality to its deathbed.

Robert S. Hillyer

Well, Bennie, now that we know the thing can fly, all we have to do is improve its range a bit.
