It was long after midnight and the stars looked damp and chilly; the air was full of the busy silence of the night, which is created by hundreds of small furry things treading very carefully in the hope of finding dinner while avoiding being the main course.

See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds.

Henry David Thoreau

The greatest teacher I know is the job itself.

James Cash Penney

We're practical and sensible but we're also dreamers. Don't forget that part of you. There's nothing wrong with being sensible, but dreams are what make you fly. And you're destined to touch the sky.

S.H. Kolee

We've learned how to destroy, but not to create; how to waste, but not to build; how to kill men, but not how to save them; how to die, but seldom how to live.

Omar Bradley

There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down -- until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.

George Sheehan

L.A. Woman is amazing, but when I was growing up I was into the Who.

Bruce McCulloch

I have done more harm by the falseness of trying to please than by the honesty of trying to hurt.

Jessamyn West

Some people are willing to pay the price and it's the same with staying healthy or eating healthy. There's some discipline involved. There's some sacrifices.

Mike Ditka

Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason itself.

John Milton

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.

Lysander Spooner

I wanted love to conquere all. But love can't conquere anything.It can't do anyhting on its own.It relies on us to do the conquering on its behalf.

David Levithan

Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.

Claude Debussy
