On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.

Mysteries of attraction could not always be explained through logic. Sometimes the fractures in two separate souls became the very hinges that held them together.

Lisa Kleypas

My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press, by science fiction periodicals, romance magazines, small press publications and various other journals, including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material.

Jean M. Auel

The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere.

Empedocles

Loyalty is still the same, whether it win or lose the game; true as a dial to the sun, although it be not shined upon.

Samuel Butler

Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment.

Barbara Jordan

We are not hungry... Why foist this food upon us? We don't want to be choked. We have enough.

Robert Mugabe

Joy, has no cost.

Marianne Williamson

More look up and admire the stars. A champion climbs a mountain and grabs one.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

It isn't easy, it does take an incredible amount of discipline, you don't just write just when you feel like it or you're not going to build up much of a body of work. Inspiration comes to you while you're writing rather than before....For me the discipline of writing and the discipline of prayer are identical, in that I have to let myself be got out of the way because that's not a do-it-yourself activity, and listen....When you write, don't think, write. You think before, you think after, you don't think during. When I'm praying, when I'm truly praying, I'm not thinking, I'm not speaking, I'm shutting up, so perhaps if God has something to say I can hear it. So writing too is an act of listening, listening to what has to be said.

Madeleine L'Engle, Perkins Lectu

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

Bruce Lee

A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.

Shirley MacLaine

Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.

John Ruskin
