We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.

When you are seventeen you aren't really serious.

Arthur Rimbaud

If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby it.

Jerome K. Jerome

How can our relationship grow when you don't respect my need to discuss everything that is wrong with you?

Michael Lipsey

Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes, big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing.

Peter Hammill

But as I was saying, from my experiences, I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless, I always prefer a friendship first and foremost.

Alicia Machado

There is always danger for those who are afraid.

George Bernard Shaw

In medicine sins of commission are mortal, sins of omission are venial.

Theodore Tronchin

And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves 'It's pretty, but is it Art?'

Rudyard Kipling

Adrienne Rich

Sports life is very short.

Sergei Bubka

Time is but the stream I go fishing in. I drink at it, but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. It's thin current slides away, but eternity remains.

Henry David Thoreau
