Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

You may chisel a boy into shape, as you would a rock, or hammer him into it, if he be of a better kind, as you would a piece of bronze. But you cannot hammer a girl into anything. She grows as a flower does.

John Ruskin

The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary for effective interdependence.

Stephen Covey

I'm constantly pitching one episode where we see life through Castle's eyes. I think Castle's just a little off as far as his perception goes. A very, very clever man, but I want to see the world as Castle sees it - kind of a rose-colored glasses, all the women find him irresistible, all the guys find him super cool and do whatever he says.

Nathan Fillion

I suppose I was a little bit of what would be called today a nerd. I didn't have girlfriends, and really I wasn't a very social boy.

Charles Kuralt

What's great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us, and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm, our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor, we protect our dignity, we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.

Paul Feig

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. That makes it hard to plan the day.

E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White

Don't corral me, and I'll always come home. Just let me go out and play during the day.

Sandra Bullock

The way of truth is like a great road. It is not difficult to know it. The evil is only that men will not seek it.

Mencius

I love to sing. It's the easiest thing for me to do.

Chaka Khan

I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.

Judy Blume

Each year India and China produce four million graduates compared with just over 250,000 in Britain.

Gordon Brown

the shell must break before the bird can fly.
