Henry Rollins

Man knows that there are in the soul tints more bewildering, more numberless, and more nameless that the colors of an autumn forest....Yet he seriously believes that these things can every one of them , in all their tones and semi-tones, in all their blends and unions, be accurately represented by an arbitrary system of grunts and squeals. He believes that an ordinary civilized stockbroker can really produce out of his own inside noises which denote all the mysteries of memory and all the agonies of desire.

G. K. Chesterton

Elise Broach

You must take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it.

Yann Martel

The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

Zig Ziglar

Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.

George Eliot

Where everything is bad it must be good to know the worst.

Francis H. Bradley

Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.

Francis Bacon

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. (Mr. Dumby, Act III)

Oscar Wilde
