A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push.

Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is to good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.

Eileen Caddy

Latter-day scepticism is fond of calling itself progressive; but scepticism is really reactionary. Scepticism goes back; it attempts to unsettle what has already been settled. Instead of trying to break up new fields with its plough, it simply tries to break up the plough.

G.K. Chesterton

Terrorism has become a festering wound. It is an enemy of humanity.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

World War II ended the Great Depression with one of the great public-private industrial collaborations in the history of man.

Jon Meacham

Every skill and every inquiry, and similarly every action and rational choice, is thought to aim at some good; and so the good had been aptly described as that at which everything aims.

Aristotle

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

Samuel Johnson

There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again. Whenever it rains you will think of her.

Neil Gaiman

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Stephen King

What is an adult? A child blown up by age.

Simone de Beauvoir

To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.

Marcus Aurelius

But I look at failure as education. In that respect, I am so well-educated.

Kathy Ireland

You've got to breathe! And make the bridge between the top half of your body and the bottom. Between the woman in you who's sweet and tender, and the woman in you who's a bitch.
