Light died in the west. Night and tears took the Nation. The star of Water drifted among the clouds like a murderer softly leaving the scene of the crime.

Duty is the great business of a sea officer all private considerations must give way to it, however painful it may be.

Horatio Nelson

I recognize that I have a unique position to be a role model to young girls because I am doing something that they consider glamorous, which is acting, and yet I took a time to really get my education and study mathematics, and I think math is the cat's meow.

Danica McKellar

Good novel are written by people who are not frightened.

George Orwell

As she stooped over him, her tears fell upon his forehead.The boy stirred, and smiled in his sleep, as though these marks of pity and compassion had awakened some pleasant dream of a love and affection he had never known; as a strain of gentle music, or the rippling of water in a silent place, or the odour of a flower, or even the mention of a familiar word, will sometimes call up sudden dim remembrances of scenes that never were, in this life; which vanish like a breath; and which some brief memory of a happier existence, long gone by, would seem to have awakened, for no voluntary exertion of the mind can ever recall them.

Charles Dickens

It is your belief that you are being held back that holds you back.

Steve Maraboli

For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.

Joyce Cary

Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power.

William Moulton Marston

You always hear the phrase, money doesn't buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it's not really true. I got a new car because the old one's lease expired.

Sergey Brin

Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.

James Thurber

Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Injustice in the end produces independence.

Voltaire

I don't think you can ever make enough to be set for life. Well, I guess there are limits. In the billions, I guess.
