Moralities, ethics, laws, customs, beliefs, doctrines --these are of trifling import. All that matters is that the miraculous become the norm.

Anyone who has passed through the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.

William Hazlitt

All we have, it seems to me, is the beauty of art and nature and life, and the love which that beauty inspires.

Edward Abbey

Anybody with a little guts and the desire to apply himself can make it, he can make anything he wants to make of himself.

Willie Shoemaker

The good are so harsh to the clever, the clever so rude to the good!

Elizabeth Wordsworth

Aus Lügen, die wir glauben, werden Wahrheiten, mit denen wir leben.

Oliver Hassencamp

Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.

Alan Cohen

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.

General George Patton

It is very important to lead the field and innovate in game design.

John Romero

Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.

Og Mandino

It's become impossible to deny he means something to me.

Stephanie Perkins

Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.

Mignon McLaughlin

Value your friendship. Value your relationships.

Barbara Bush
