Morgan has the artist's mind; he says the simple things that clever people don't say; I find him the best of critics for that reason. Suddenly out comes the obvious thing that one has overlooked.

I am an artist. I am here to live out loud.

Emile Zola

It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.

Sheryl Sandberg

There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world - its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. If an activity is not grounded in 'to love' or 'to learn,' it does not have value.

Anne Rice

Muhammad Iqbal

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

Maya Angelou

The loftier the building the deeper the foundation must be.

Thomas Kempis

There are only ten minutes in the life of a pear when it is perfect to eat.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A man's subconscious self is not the ideal companion. It lurks for the greater part of his life in some dark den of its own, hidden away, and emerges only to taunt and deride and increase the misery of a miserable hour.

P. G. Wodehouse

We are only an instant, that's true. But we are eternal.

Alice Hoffman

To those who abuse: the sin is yours, the crime is yours, and the shame is yours. To those who protect the perpertrators: blaming the victims only masks the evil within, making you as guilty as those who abuse. Stand up for the innocent or go down with the rest.

Flora Jessop

I always remember that I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now, unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.

Ken Keyes Jr.

I've watched my peers get better with age and hoped that would happen with me.
