Let us labor for that larger and larger comprehension of truth, that more and more thorough repudiation of error, which shall make the history of mankind a series of ascending developments.

The weariest and most loathed worldly life, that age, ache, penury and imprisonment can lay on nature is a paradise, to what we fear of death.

William Shakespeare

AUM or Om is not related to any religion because Om was practiced before the birth of all the religions of the world.

It's usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It's such a cliche to say that artists write when they're down, but it's true for me. It's a relief to get out what's eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.

Ellie Goulding

The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The sexiest thing about style is if you kind of just take your personality and put it in what you wear. That's what I think is cool.

Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of fear is a freedom.

Marilyn Ferguson

I will cling to the rope God has thrown me in Jesus Christ, even when my numb hands can no longer feel it.

Sophie Scholl

Time grants a unique perspective which allows us to see events through a filter of accumulated wisdom.

Christopher Earle

Think and feel yourself there! To achieve any aim in life, you need to project the end-result. Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy! Carrying the ecstatic feeling will bring the desired goal into view.

Grace Speare

You can only be as good as you dare to be bad.

John Barrymore

Well, you got to remember, bin Laden killed 3,000 Americans and, in some ways, he and his ideology killed tens of thousands of his fellow Muslims, including Pakistanis. I understand that that was provocative and complicated for Pakistan, but only if you accept the idea that he was an acceptable member of Pakistani society.

Sebastian Junger

It is impossible that had Buonaparte descended from a race of vegetable feeders that he could have had either the inclination or the power to ascend the throne of the Bourbons.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
