Life seemed so simple and joyous when I was growing up.

All my fans tell me what a glamorous life I have, but I tell them how hard I work and how many nights I spend alone with my dogs, eating chicken pot pie in my bedroom.

Shannen Doherty

Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries - for heavy ones they cannot.

Niccolo Machiavelli

The distinction between private and public undermines the unity of spiritual strength, draining the public of the transcendent energies while trivializing them because the merely private life provides no proper stage for their action.

Allan Bloom

I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down.

Virgil Thomson

Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.

Edward Edwards

You can spend the rest of your life trying to figure out what other people expect from you, or you can make a decision to let that all go.

Maria Shriver

The most violent revolutions in an individuals beliefs leave most of his old order standing. Time and space, cause and effect, nature and history, and ones own biography remain untouched. New truth is always a go-between, a smoother-over of transitions. It marries old opinion to new fact so as ever to show a minimum of jolt, a maximum of continuity.

William James

Men are rich only as they give. He who gives great service gets great rewards.

Elbert Hubbard

Science can make man comfortable, but only wisdom can make man happy.

Theodore Hesburgh

I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.

Pope Gregory VII

If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.

Mark Twain

No one knows what women want!

Ian Somerhalder
