The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1:21

Never be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.

Alice Walker

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

Glen Hansard

You don't have to fight for your life anymore. You're starting a new one.

Eric Brown

I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government.

It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.

Oscar Wilde

Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.

Ernest Hemingway

I would never have gone anywhere if it hadn't been for Mother's faith and support.

Patsy Cline

No one out there is interested in who did what to whom in Westminster politics.

Iain Duncan Smith

I long for the raised voice, the howl of rage or love.

Leslie Fiedler

Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent; be confident of nothing but what fortune cannot defeat; it is no less folly to fear what is impossible to be avoided than to be secure when there is a possibility to be deprived.

Francis Quarles

I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.

Alanis Morissette

If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.

Robert Frost
