Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.

Economics is not an exact science.

John Kenneth Galbraith

We owe respect to the living. To the dead we owe only truth.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

When you've got something to prove, there's nothing greater than a challenge.

Terry Bradshaw

I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.

Ann Romney

I always thought that life was about standing your ground, no matter how strong the current was. But going with the flow isn't so bad after all. As long as it takes you forward.

Ai Yazawa

The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged.

Democritus

If the truth be known, we are on the verge of losing an entire generation of our young people, killing and dying in the streets of America

Ron Dellums

Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best.

Bernard Meltzer

To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.

Simone Weil

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Henry David Thoreau

I have done a lot of things outside of Science Fiction, but there has been an almost disproportionate amount of that genre in my body of work. I don't know what to make of it.

Daniel Dae Kim

Often the magical elements in my books are standing in for elements of the real world, the small and magical-in-their-own-right sorts of things that we take for granted and no longer pay attention to, like the bonds of friendship that entwine our own lives with those of other people and places.

Charles de Lint
