There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

The art of creation lies in the gift of perceiving the particular and generalizing it, thus creating the particular again. It is therefore a powerful transforming force and a generator of creative solutions in relation to a given problem. It is the currency of human exchanges, which enables the sharing of states of the soul and conscience, and the discovery of new fields of experience.

Yehudi Menuhin

To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.

William Blake

Una rosa se despertó en su sangre y ensombreció sus mejillas. Un agitado aliento separó los pétalos de sus labios, que temblaron. Sobre ella sopló algún viento sur de pasión y movió los delicados pliegos de su vestido

Oscar Wilde

Being a kid and growing up is such a cool part of life.

Devon Werkheiser

Having kids is something I want to see in my future - I hope.

Rachel Bilson

There is much to be said for failure. It is much more interesting than success.

Max Beerbohm

I know a lot of Eastern Europeans, and because of what they have been through and what they have seen, they have an attitude where they are not easily fooled.

Francine Prose

One cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.

Jane Austen

A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it.

William Feather

Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity

George Eliot

We come and go just like ripples in a stream.

John V. Politis

By law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again -- and not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in its own period, not another's and each obeying its own law.

Mark Twain
