He who leaves nothing to chance will do few things poorly, but he will do few things.

Love is not the dying moan of a distant violin-it's the triumphant twang of a bedspring.

S. J. Perelman

With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

Kristen Wiig

For virtue's self may too much zeal be had; the worst of madmen is a saint run mad.

Alexander Pope

If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.

Abraham Maslow

tanpa mimpi, orang seperti kita akan mati... - Arai

Andrea Hirata

All the genres of philosophy, science, high art, athletics and politics were invented by men. But by the Promethean law of conflict and capture, woman has a right to seize what she will and vie with man on her own terms.

Camille Paglia

I've used the prestige and influence of having been a president of the United States as effectively as possible. And secondly, I've still been able to carry out my commitments to peace and human rights and environmental quality and freedom and democracy and so forth.

Jimmy Carter

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.

Frederick Buechner

People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.

Doug Coupland

The film of evening light made the red earth lucent, so that its dimensions were deepened, so that a stone, a post, a building, had greater depth, and more solidity than in any daytime light; and these objects were curiously more individual- a post was more essentially a post, set off from the earth it stood in and the field of corn it stood out against. All plants were individuals, not the mass of crop; and the ragged willow tree was itself, standing free of all other willow trees. The earth contributed a light to the evening. The front of the gray, paintless house, facing the west, was luminous as the moon is. The gray dusty truck, in the yard before the door, stood out magically in this light, in the overdrawn perspective of a stereopticon.

John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wr

The truest measure of success is successity: enriching lives positively.

Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

A man is a little thing while he works by and for himself; but when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, he is godlike

Ralph Waldo Emerson
