It is not where we are that matters nor what we have, it is what we do with where we are and what we have.

Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides.

David Hare

Hannes Alfven

Dorothy Day

I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different.

Jack Nicholson

Samuel Johnson

I am climbing a difficult road but the glory gives me strength.

Sextus Propertius

They had no conversation together, no intercourse but what the commonest civility required. Once so much to each other! Now nothing! There had been a time, when of all the large party now filling the drawing-room at Uppercross, they would have found it most difficult to cease to speak to one another. With the exception, perhaps, of Admiral and Mrs. Croft, who seemed particularly attached and happy, (Anne could allow no other exception even among the married couples) there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so simliar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become aquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.

Jane Austen

You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.

Paul Newman

El Hombre de negro huía a través del deseirto y el pistolero iba en pos de él.

Stephen King

If we have an honest discussion on whether the war on poverty should be fought with welfare or with economic growth in the private sector, Democrats will lose black votes.

Alveda King

Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.

Mark Twain
