Knowing what I know of love, I hang back because I don't like to lie to myself.

Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.

Buddha

The individual (no matter how well-meaning he might be, no matter how much strength he might have, if only he would use it) does not have the passion to rip himself away from either the coils of Reflection or the seductive ambiguities of Reflection; nor do the surroundings and times have any events or passions, but rather provide a negative setting of a habit of reflection, which plays with some illusory project only to betray him in the end with a way out: it shows him that the most clever thing to do is nothing at all.

Soren Kierkegaard, The Present A

The Bible was a consolation to a fellow alone in the old cell. The lovely thin paper with a bit of matress stuffing in it, if you could get a match, was as good a smoke as I ever tasted.

Brendan Behan

My interactions with Sorkin were agonisingly weird. He is by far the weirdest person I have ever met. I had dinner with him and a few hours before I got an e-mail from his assistant saying, 'Sean, this does not need to be a long conversation. Aaron is only going to use it to win your trust.'

Sean Parker

Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices, everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating, honorable, and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.

Dennis Prager

The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results.

Norman Vincent Peale

The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.

William Wordsworth

But you can travel on for ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are.

Harry Chapin

What I'd say about that is that we must respect homosexuals in the church. I've got many homosexual friends, the issue is not in any way a homophobic reaction on my part.

George Carey

If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his house, what books he may read or what films he may watch.

Thurgood Marshall

You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.

Sammy Davis, Jr.

When we see someone or something as imperfect, it is a reflection of our limitations, not theirs.
