A love affair with knowledge will never end in heartbreak.

Music has the power to make me feel good like nothing else does. It gives me some peace for a while. Takes me back to who I really am.

Gil Scott-Heron

There was truth in Diaz's logic, yes: our line of work is like that. Once you have started, the only way back is to go forward.

Imre Kertész

Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.

Benjamin Franklin

I don't know if it's possible to live the rock 'n roll lifestyle and still be romantic.

Adam Levine

Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.

Henry David Thoreau

There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it.

Charles Franklin Kettering

From faith, hope, and love, the virtues of religion referring to God, there arises a double act which bears on the spiritual communion exercised between God and us the hearing of the word and prayer.

William Ames

The world's made up of individuals who don't want to be heroes.

Brian Moore

When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead.

John Greenleaf Whittier

The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There's nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.

George Herbert Walker Bush

My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew.

Taryn Manning

We are reminded how short life really is, and how we are just passing through. So, all the people you haven't told you love lately, tell them, and live your days like you mean it.

Hal Sutton
