Music, art, theater. I'm just a big fan of beauty.

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

Thomas Carlyle

In Poland, my audience is all women between 18 and 30. At U.S. conventions, you have the fantasy and science fiction crowd. At Harvard you have an entirely different audience. It's so schizophrenic.

Jonathan Carroll

As one lamp lights another, nor grows less,So nobleness enkindleth nobleness.

James Russell Lowell

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

Leo Buscaglia

Martin Yan

I find writing very difficult. It's hard and it hurts sometimes, and it's scary because of the fear of failure and the very unpleasant feeling that you may have reached the limit of your abilities.

Tony Kushner

It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.

Sir Philip Sidney

Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.

Soren Kierkegaard

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

Glen Hansard

Greater than the temptations of beauty are those of method.

James Richardson

Young men know the rules, but old men know the exceptions.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.

Aldous Huxley
