Love is the state in which man sees things most of all as they are not.

Half a psychiatrist's patients see him because they are married -- the other half because they're not.

Arnold Glasgow

I'm quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world, really. So in that sense I've got a good balance of doing great shows, of making an appearance every now and then and writing music, and I don't really have to do much else.

Ellie Goulding

They should know that just because things get difficult, it's no reason to believe God is on vacation.

Harry H. Harrison Jr.

When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind Where the children laugh and the children play And we sing a song all day.

Paul Vance

It's a mood record. Like one night you're going to be down in the dumps depressed because you're thinking about your ex-boyfriend and the next moment you're gonna be like screw him you know? And the next one you're saying to yourself God I'm in love.

Willa Ford

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Racism is taught in our society, it is not automatic. It is learned behavior toward persons with dissimilar physical characteristics.

Alex Haley

Against an oath; the truth thou art unsure.

William Shakespeare

Originality is the one thing unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of.

John Stuart Mill

...I wondered why so much had been written about love's pain and so little about the glorious relief of being delivered from love's pain.

Irene Hunt

The entire Jesus concept, that human sacrifice should be the substratum of a moral religion of love, strikes me as incongruous. God condemned us and Jesus saved us, and they are actually the same being? Christianity is the idea that you are so abhorrent that God had to kill himself. He had to embody the human form and send himself on a bizarre suicide mission just to revoke the disgustingness of the humans he created. I balk at suggestions that these ideas dictate to the concepts of morality and love.

Trevor Treharne

I can sometimes sit for two hours in a room with almost no thought. Just complete stillness. Sometimes when I go for walks, there's also complete stillness; there's no mental labeling of sense perceptions. There's simply a sense of awe or wonder or openness, and that's beautiful.
