We are not to make the ideas of contentment and aspiration quarrel, for God made them fast friends. A man may aspire, and yet be quite content until it is time to raise; and both flying and resting are but parts of one contentment. The very fruit of the gospel is aspiration. It is to the heart what spring is to the earth, making every root, and bud, and bough desire to be more. -

You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.

Frank Crane

We need to theorize the meaning of beauty in our lives so that we can educate for critical consciousness, talking through the issues: how we acquire and spend money, how we feel about beauty, what the place of beauty is in our lives when we lack material privilege and even basic resources for living, the meaning and significance of luxury, and the politics of envy.

Bell Hooks

She was so ugly that she was known as a two bagger, one for you in case her bag breaks.

Rodney Dangerfield

A witty woman is a treasure a witty beauty is a power.

George Meredith

The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.

Paul Klee

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around -- the music and the ideas.

Bob Dylan
