My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.

Whatever tears one may shed, in the end one always blows one's nose.

Heinrich Heine

Truth can remain silent. Lies must be spoken.

Mason Cooley

Every person is a star; it just depends upon how close you are to him, that you realize his true potential and power.

Rupali Rajopadhye Rotti

History gives us a kind of chart, and we dare not surrender even a small rushlight in the darkness. The hasty reformer who does not remember the past will find himself condemned to repeat it.

John Buchan

Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners.

Laurence Sterne

To experience life you have to kind of face a lot of fears.

Carrie-Anne Moss

It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.

Francis Bacon

Segregation has no place in the education system.

Richard Dawkins

It is easier to take a position in the abstract than when it hits home.

Dennis Prager

I think about death a lot, I really do, because I can't believe I won't exist. It's the ego isn't it? I feel that I should retreat into a better form of Zen Buddhism than this kind of ego-dominated thing. But I don't know, I mean, I want to come back as a tree but I suspect that it's just not going to happen, is it?

Kate Atkinson

We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.

Ursula K. LeGuin

Writing a book is a blood sport. If it doesn't hurt when you're done, you're probably doing something wrong.
