Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.

I don't feel restless, I just like to travel.

Brad Pitt

Our masks, always in peril of smearing or cracking, in need of continuous check in the mirror or silverware, keep us in thrall to ourselves, concerned with our surfaces.

Carolyn Kizer

Life is short, and we should respect every moment of it.

Orhan Pamuk

I allow myself one nice car.

Slash

My husband cooks fancier food for himself than I've ever cooked on-air. I call him from the road, and he's making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef, I'm not a better cook than my own husband!

Rachael Ray

I'll read enoughWhen I do see the very book indeedWhere all my sins are writ, and that's myself.Give me that glass and therein will I read.No deeper wrinkles yet? Hath sorrow struckSo many blows upon this face of mineAnd made no deeper wounds?O flattering glass,Like to my followers in prosperityThou dost beguile me!

William Shakespeare

Refrain to-night;And that shall lend a kind of easinessTo the next abstinence, the next more easy;For use almost can change the stamp of nature,And either master the devil or throw him outWith wondrous potency.

William Shakespeare

My life is a battle.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.

Cecil B. De Mille

Poetry is the impish attempt to paint the color of the wind.

Maxwell Bodenheim

The truth is not that we need the critics in order to enjoy the authors, but that we need the authors in order to enjoy the critics.

C.S. Lewis

For hardly any of the ecclesiastical writers have handled the Divine Scriptures more ineptly and absurdly than Origen and Jerome.

Martin Luther King Jr.
