Mostly, we authors must repeat ourselves -- that's the truth. We have two or three great moving experiences in our lives -- experiences so great and moving that it doesn't seem at the time that anyone else has been so caught up and pounded and dazzled and astonished and beaten and broken and rescued and illuminated and rewarded and humbled in just that way ever before.

Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity.

Alberta Flanders

I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I'd try to reenact it.

How can children credit the assertions of parents, which their own eyes show them to be false? Few parents act in such a manner as much to enforce their maxims by the credit of their lives

Samuel Johnson

Here's a news flash: No soldier gives his life. That's not the way it works. Most soldiers who make a conscious decision to place themselves in harm's way do it to protect their buddies. They do it because of the bonds of friendship - and it goes so much deeper than friendship.

Eric Massa

You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor.

Prison continues, on those who are entrusted to it, a work begun elsewhere, which the whole of society pursues on each individual through innumerable mechanisms of discipline.

Michel Foucault

When a man says that he approves something in principal, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of putting it in practice.

Otto von Bismarck

It is important not to trust people too much.

V. S. Naipaul

The knowledge of yourself will preserve you from vanity.

Miguel de Cervantes

Keep a cool head and a warm heart.
