What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me.

Rick Warren

God, make me so uncomfortable that I will do the very thing I fear.

Ruby Dee

Lou Holtz

I married two weeks after my 18th birthday, far too young, and by the time I was 23 I was a single mother of three small children, Sean, Daniel and Victoria, living in a prefab house.

Rachel Hunter

National isolation breeds national neurosis.

Hubert Humphrey

Old stories have a habit of being told and retold and changed. Each subsequent storyteller puts his or her mark upon it. Whatever truth the story once had is buried in bias and embellishment. The reasons do not matter as much as the story itself.

Erin Morgenstern

To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

If you have a dream, just lie about it. Lie your way unto your dreams.

Joel McHale

Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born? This earth is not without some resemblance to a gaol. Who knows but that man is a victim of divine justice? Look closely at life. It is so constituted that one senses punishment everywhere.

Victor Hugo

The young mind is pliable and imitates, but in more advanced states grows rigid and must be warmed and softened before it will receive a deep impression.

Joshua Renolds

There can be no passion, and by consequence no love, where there is not imagination.

William Godwin
