Nature soaks every evil with either fear or shame.

Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.

Oscar Wilde

The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.

George Eliot

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.

Diane Arbus

You are only as big as the dreams you dare to live.

Jessica Watson

The only thing that will ever make me fall in love is: if I fall in love.

C. JoyBell C.

But the fevers are on me now, the virus mad to ravage my last fifty T cells. It's hard to keep the memory at full dazzle, with so much loss to mock it. Roger gone, Craig gone, Cesar gone, Stevie gone. And this feeling that I'm the last one left, in a world where only the ghosts still laugh. But at least they're the ghosts of full-grown men, proof that all of us got that far, free of the traps and the lies. And from that moment on the brink of summer's end, no one would ever tell me again that men like me couldn't love.

Paul Monette

We learn words by rote, but not their meaning; that must be paid for with our life-blood, and printed in the subtle fibres of our nerves.

George Eliot

Give the laborer his wages before his perspiration be dry.

Mohammed

Growing up in the time of Title IX - it was passed when I was 10 - I got a front-row seat to so many great moments in women's sports. Of course I didn't know it at the time.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee

Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.

Immanuel Kant

No one has the power to shatter your dreams unless you give it to them.

Maeve Greyson

Win hearts, and you have hands and purses.

Lord Burleigh
