To be a materialist is to acknowledge objective truth, which is revealed to us by our sense organs.

In love the only safety is in flight.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself.

Celine Dion

I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.

Vincent Van Gogh

The well adjusted make poor prophets. A pleasant existence blinds us to the possibilities of drastic change. We cling to what we call our common sense, our practical point of view. Actually, these are names for an all-absorbing familiarity with things as they are.... Thus it happens that when the times become unhinged, it is the practical people who are caught unaware...still clinging to things that no longer exist.

Eric Hoffer

The question was whether James would love me if I was someone else.

Barbara Delinsky

It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time.

Samuel Johnson

Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

William Penn

You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas.

Davy Crockett

That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

No one is more conventional than a woman who is falling out of love.

Francoise Sagan

Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.

Henry St. John

If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
