All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.

I was born with more power inside myself than I ever dreamed. But along with it there came no more sense than any other idiotic kid. Somewhere along in here I need to grow up into a man I can stand to live with. A man who doesn't just survive, but deserves to.

Orson Scott Card

Peter Garrett

Pain is like a fabri, the stronger it is, the more its worth

John Green

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The soul is healed by being with children.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

At that instant he saw, in one blaze of light, an image of unutterable conviction, the reason why the artist works and lives and has his being--the reward he seeks--the only reward he really cares about, without which there is nothing. It is to snare the spirits of mankind in nets of magic, to make his life prevail through his creation, to wreak the vision of his life, the rude and painful substance of his own experience, into the congruence of blazing and enchanted images that are themselves the core of life, the essential pattern whence all other things proceed, the kernel of eternity.

Thomas Wolfe, Of Time and the Ri

You have to take away some of tax breaks for the wealthy, and you have to cut back on some entitlements. Because, unless we do all of these things, it just doesn't work. And what's good theater and what's good politics isn't necessarily good economic policy.

Michael Bloomberg

I like to have a man's knowledge comprehend more than one class of topics, one row of shelves. I like a man who likes to see a fine barn as well as a good tragedy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sex outside marriage is sin; sex within marriage is not sin.

Bertrand Russell

On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people and then I go home alone.

Janis Joplin
