Learn to deal with the fact that you are not a perfect person but you are a person that deserves respect and honesty.

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

Alan Rickman

To love is not to look at one another, But to look together in the same direction

Antoine De Saint Exupery

Talent develops in tranquility, character in the full current of human life.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

Louis Pasteur

Even though money seems such an objective topic, it can also be the most intimate, and possibly harmful, part of a relationship.

Christie Hefner

We remained at our encampment of this day until the morning of the 7th, when we descended ten miles lower down and encamped on a spot of ground where several thousand Indians had wintered during the past season.

William Henry Ashley

I have serious doubts about the value of debates in a presidential election. They tend to be a test of reaction time rather than a genuine exposition of the participants philosophies and programs. Further, in debate, candidates tend to overstate their views. In the 1960 situation I had a very practical objection: Nixon was widely known; Kennedy was not; dramatic debates would therefore help Kennedy.

Dwight D Eisenhower

The distinction has blurred between young adult and adult books. Some of the teen books have become more sophisticated.

Ann Brashares

Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps twenty players, and Tennessee Williams has about five, and Samuel Beckett one - and maybe a clone of that one. I have ten or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.

Gore Vidal

Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.

Fran Lebowitz

The last thing I want my child to see is Dad running around in the middle of the pack. That would really upset me. And that would upset him. I would be embarrassed to take him to school with kids saying, 'Hey, how'd your dad do this weekend?' 'Well, he finished fifth or sixth'.

Dan Wheldon

When traveling with someone, take large does of patience and tolerance with your morning coffee.

Helen Hayes
