I mean, I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know, loss, whether it be death, illness, separation. I mean, the failed expectations... We all have dreams.

We follow the mystics. They know where they are going. They, too, go astray, but when they go astray they do so in a way that is mystical, dark, and mysterious.

Ryszard Kapuscinski

If you are prepared, then you are able to feel confident.

Robert J. Ringer

There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.

Thomas Jefferson

It's just a part of our nature to hope.

Elizabeth Edwards

Every girl wants a Bad Boy who is good only for her and every guy wants a good Girl who is bad only for him.

Evette Carter

The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

The images of the unconscious place a great responsibility upon a man. Failure to understand them, or a shirking of ethical responsibility, deprives him of his wholeness and imposes a painful fragmentariness on his life.

Carl Gustav Jung

In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.

Janet Jackson

It seems wisest to assume the worst from the beginning...and let anything better come as a surprise.

Jules Verne

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

Albert Einstein

A monarchy conducted with infinite wisdom and infinite benevolence is the most perfect of all possible governments.

Ezra Stiles

Julian is bluff and sturdy, royal; he possesses a gracefully muscular, equine beauty so natural it suggests that beauty itself is a fundamental human condition and not a mutation in the general design.

Michael Cunningham
