Let us be of good cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never happen.

Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One's life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape.

Mary Caroline Richards

I was born and raised in the high desert of Nevada in a tiny town called Searchlight. My dad was a hard rock miner. My mom took in wash. I grew up around people of strong values - even if they rarely talked about them.

Harry Reid

Seek always for the answer within. Be not influenced by those around you, by their thoughts or their words

Eileen Caddy

If I weren't performing, I'd be a beauty editor or a therapist. I love creativity, but I also love to help others. My mother was a hairstylist, and they listen to everyone's problems - like a beauty therapist!

Beyonce Knowles

Life is a glass given to us to fill; a busy life is filling it with as much as it can hold; a hurried life has had more poured into it than it can contain.

William Adams Brown

The proper reply to right wing religiosity is not to insist that politics and religion don't mix. This is the stock response of the left.

Christopher Lasch

There is no great genius without some touch of madness.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird.

Benjamin Franklin

My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering, you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!

Harrison Birtwistle

Before I left for Germany, I had gotten accepted to the performing arts high school in New York, which was a big dream of mine. And having to leave that was very sad for me.

Nina Arianda

Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God; Go is the sun.

Rumi

It’s very hard to design something that you almost do not see because it just seems so obvious, natural and inevitable.
