But you know, there's something about the kids finishing their homework in a given day, working one-on-one, getting all this attention - they go home, they're finished. They don't stall, they don't do their homework in front of the TV.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

Muhammad Ali

the battered woman--for she wore a skirt--with her right hand exposed, her left clutching at her side, stood singing of love--love which has lasted a million years, she sang, love which prevails, and millions of years ago, her lover, who had been dead these centuries, had walked, she crooned, with her in May; but in the course of ages, long as summer days, and flaming, she remembered, with nothing but red asters, he had gone; death's enormous sickle had swept those tremendous hills, and when at last she laid her hoary and immensely aged head on the earth, now become a mere cinder of ice, she implored the Gods to lay by her side a bunch of purple heather, there on her high burial place which the last rays of the last sun caressed; for then the pageant of the universe would be over.

Virginia Woolf

When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and sparkle all day.

Ella Woodward

Jeff Miller

Jane Austen

Love never dies of starvation, but often of indigestion.

Ninon De L'Enclos

Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.

Anna Held

Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge.

Andrew Wiles

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

Aristotle

When we venture in that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do.

Paulo Coelho

Stubbornness does have its helpful features. You always know what you're going to be thinking tomorrow.

Glen Beaman

Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents birth
