But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.To know the pain of too much tenderness.To be wounded by your own understanding of love;And to bleed willingly and joyfully.To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;To return home at eventide with gratitude;And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.

I fall in love every time. And I don't really fall in love a lot, but when I do, I fall hard.

Katy Perry

You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself.

Napoleon Hill

Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.

Adrienne Rich

Individual responsibility, hard work, paying attention in school, faith, family all these things are important.

J. C. Watts

Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your emancipation. You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields -- discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West -- superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.

Henrik Ibsen

I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.

Jean Cocteau

The progress of freedom depends more upon the maintenance of peace, the spread of commerce, and the diffusion of education, than upon the labors of cabinets and foreign offices.

Richard Cobden

I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.

Michael Caine

Let your literary compositions be kept from the public eye for nine years.

Horace

I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.

Stephen King

In Hollywood the man who cleans your pool is an actor. The man who sells you your copy of Variety is an actor. I don't think there's a real person left in the place.

Neil Gaiman

There is a city myth that country life was isolated and lonely; the truth is that farmers and their families then had a richer social life than they have now. They enjoyed a society organic, satisfying and whole, not mixed and thinned with the life of town, city and nation as it now is.
