What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.

In fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit.

Miyamoto Musashi

Reason is our soul's left hand, faith her right.

John Donne

Fear always springs from ignorance

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Grant that the true organ with which the beautiful is apprehended is the imagination, and it follows that all arts are likely to affect the feelings indirectly.

Eduard Hanslick

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.

Paulo Coelho

Wrists are for bracelets, not for cutting.

Kellin Quinn

I don't know now if I'm funny. I just keep talking and hope that I hit something that's funny.

Craig Ferguson

The nine-tenths prove man's love, but the one-tenth tests man's legal obedience.

Herschel Hobbs

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.

Thomas Paine

Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart; it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.

Isadora Duncan

I see happiness as a by-product. I don't think you can pursue happiness. I think that phrase is one of the very few mistakes the Founding Fathers made.

James Hillman

No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where, like all desert dwellers, they dream their buildings, rather than design them.
