Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that's kind of the beauty of it.

It has been observed in all ages that the advantages of nature or of fortune have contributed very little to the promotion of happiness; and that those whom the splendour of their rank, or the extent of their capacity, have placed upon the summits of human life, have not often given any just occasion to envy in those who look up to them from a lower station; whether it be that apparent superiority incites great designs, and great designs are naturally liable to fatal miscarriages; or that the general lot of mankind is misery, and the misfortunes of those whose eminence drew upon them an universal attention, have been more carefully recorded, because they were more generally observed, and have in reality only been more conspicuous than others, not more frequent, or more severe.

Samuel Johnson

I think Britain would be alright, if only we had a different Government.

William Hague

My father used to say: Never suspect people, It's better to be deceived or mistaken, which is only human, after all, than to be suspicious, which is common.

Stark Young

It's better for me to play with guys because Rock 'n' Roll has such an aggressive attitude.

Lita Ford

The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.

Milton Avery

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Marcus Aurelius

We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.

Oscar Wilde

I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change.

Richard Nelson Bolles

Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Journalism is a kind of profession, or craft, or racket, for people who never wanted to grow up and go out into the real world.

Harry Reasoner

Crying adds something: crying is you, plus tears.

John Green

It didn't matter how big our house was; it mattered that there was love in it.
