Rumi

The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.

Victor Hugo

Our deeds still travel with us from afar/And what we have been makes us what we are.

George Eliot

I think she definitely has. I think, um, her and Mulder's relationship has become more equal. And, I think she has become stronger and more independent over the seasons.

Akhenaton

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.

Napoleon Hill

But I, being poor, have only my dreams I have spread my dreams under your feet Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

William Butler Yeats

Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had.

Aristotle

I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.

Caleb Carr

But this didn't like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.

Terry Pratchett
