I must have got my detailed, obsessive streak from my father, who was an English teacher, because my mother wasn't like me at all.

Beauty is something wonderful and strange that the artist fashions out of the chaos of the world in the torment of his soul

William Somerset Maugham

The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.

Albert Einstein

The meaning of the words is necessary and not their extent.

Sorin Cerin

My mom's the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I'm a lump of clay and she's moulding me into a woman.

Chloe Moretz

No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.

Samuel Johnson

The wise man, knowing how to enjoy achieved results without having constantly to replace them with others, finds in them an attachment to life in the hour of difficulty. But the man who has always pinned all his hopes on the future and lived with his eyes fixed upon it, has nothing in the past as a comfort against the present's afflictions, for the past was nothing to him but a series of hastily experienced stages. What blinded him to himself was his expectation always to find further on the happiness he had so far missed. Now he is stopped in his tracks; from now on nothing remains behind or ahead of him to fix his gaze upon.

Emile Durkheim

It isn't what you know that counts, it's what you think of in time.

Benjamin Franklin

Every night, half an hour before curtain up, the bells of St. Malachy's, the Actors' Chapel on New York's 49th Street, peal the tune of 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast, enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway.

Dan Stevens

Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.

Karl Marx

Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it, it's true.

Bill Gates

The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word.

Mata Hari

Silence is the sanctuary of the prudent, it conceals not only secrets but also imperfections.

Zacharia
