Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.

A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes.

Joseph Addison

Just as we accumulate memories of facts by integrating them into a network, we accumulate life experiences by integrating them into a web of other chronological memories. The denser the web, the denser the experience of time.

Joshua Foer

Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory.

Bill Russell

Time scoots along pretty fast when you grow up.

Alan Ladd

You get paid to impact the world, not be impacted by it.

Mal Pancoast

The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.

Francis Bacon

The sight of nature fascinates, the family tie has a sweet enchantment and patriotism gives the religious spirit a fiery devotion to the powers that it reveres.

Bruno Bauer

The world is full of human lobsters; men stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who, instead of putting forth their own energies, are waiting for some grand billow of good fortune to set them afloat.

Orison Swett Marden

You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.

C. S. Lewis

All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.

George Orwell

Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings of the heart.

Haruki Murakami

A reform is a correction of abuses a revolution is a transfer of power.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
