We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

I have seen very few people. Nessa came again. How painful these meetings are! Let me try to analyse. Perhaps it is that we both feel that we can exist independently of the other. The door shuts between us, and life flows on again and completely removes the trace. That is an absurd exaggeration.

Virginia Woolf

I enjoy jokes, smiling, and making people smile. I may be a little different, but that's OK, who wants to be normal anyway?

Tim Duncan

She should be on a hill somewhere, under a fruit tree, with the sun and clouds above her and the rain to wash her clean.

George R.R. Martin

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I also don't have organized religion on Pern. I figured - since there were four holy wars going on at the time of writing - that religion was one problem Pern didn't need.

Anne McCaffrey

I never forgive, but I always forget.

Arthur Balfour

Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.

John Ruskin

The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.

Sam Mendes

I'm being a dad and a good husband.

Chad Smith

A jack of both sides, is before long, trusted by nobody, and abused by both parties.

Proverb

If the thought enunciates an object as a truth, it is only as a challenge to this object's own self-fulfillment.

Jean Baudrillard

I like this job - most days I have a chance to make breakfast and take the kids to school or to read 'em a bedtime story. It's almost like a normal life.
