There has never been another you. With no effort on your part you were born to be something very special and set apart. What you are going to do in appreciation of that gift is a decision only you can make.

No idea is so antiquated that it was not once modern. No idea is so modern that it will not some day be antiquated... To seize the flying thought before it escapes us is our only touch with reality.

Ellen Glasgow

I've been really excited about some new cutting edge electronic music and technology.

Mike Shinoda

I actually don't feel famous.

Anwar Robinson

In America all too few blows are struck into flesh. We kill the spirit here, we are experts at that. We use psychic bullets and kill each other cell by cell.

Norman Mailer

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.

Thomas Fuller

Imagination is at the root of much that passes for love.

Gilbert Parker

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. In other words, I don't improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.

John Steinbeck

If truth doesn't set you free, generosity of spirit will.

Katerina Stoykova Klemer

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are the richest.

Henry David Thoreau

And evolution or God or whatever arranged things genetically, to keep the little families going, to cheer them up, so that they could all have somebody to tell stories around the campfire at night, and somebody else to paint pictures on the walls of caves, and somebody else who wasn't afraid of anything and so on.

Kurt Vonnegut

One of the darkest evils of our world is surely the unteachable wildness of the Good.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
