You need to know that a member of Congress who refuses to allow the minimum wage to come up for a vote made more money during last year's one-month government shutdown than a minimum wage worker makes in an entire year.

People who never have any time on their hands are those who do the least.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what's in your heart.

Carol Ann Duffy

I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.

Rogers Hornsby

I think that the problem is that people fear so many things and they don't live life to its fullest. And for me as an artist, if God should want me to come this Wednesday to the end of my life, so be it.

Criss Angel

You realise that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you, he said.

John Green

We're not in Wonderland anymore Alice.

Charles Manson

God's bodkin, man, much better: use every man after his desert, and who shall scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity -- the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty?

William Shakespeare

Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other side

William Shakespeare

I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair.

Vidal Sassoon

Kahlil Gibran

No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.

Roger Ebert

We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.

Cassandra Clare
