No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.

I have nothing to say, I am saying it, and that is poetry.

John Cage

Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old.

John Ciardi

Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.

Winston Churchill

In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.

Thomas Jefferson

I love readings and my readers, but the din of voices of the audience gives me stage fright, and the din of voices inside whisper that I am a fraud, and that the jig is up. Surely someone will rise up from the audience and say out loud that not only am I not funny and helpful, but I'm annoying, and a phony.

Anne Lamott

This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Man cannot aspire if he looked down; if he rise, he must look up.

Samuel Smiles

I have always been driven to buck the system, to innovate, to take things beyond where they've been.

Sam Walton

Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that's ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience.

Michael Haneke

They were still all beautiful and there was still enchantment and wonder, but she had crossed a line and now the fairy tale was green with corruption and evil.

Stephen King

Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.

Because when everyone dreams, but only a few realize their dreams, that makes cowards of us all.

Paulo Coelho
