Now a writer can make himself a nice career while he is alive by espousing a political cause, working for it, making a profession of believing in it, and if it wins he will be very well placed. All politics is a matter of working hard without reward, or with a living wage for a time, in the hope of booty later. A man can be a Fascist or a Communist and if his outfit gets in he can get to be an ambassador or have a million copies of his books printed by the Government or any of the other rewards the boys dream about.

The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Freedom Know this, that every man is free To choose his life and what he'll be. For this eternal truth is given, God will force no man to heaven. He'll call, persuade, direct aright, Bless with wisdom, love, and light; In nameless ways be good and kind, But never force the human mind.

William C. Clegg

Analogies, it is true, decide nothing, but they can make one feel more at home.

Sigmund Freud

Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.

Edward Steichen

I believe you can have whatever you really want in this life, in one form or another, sooner or later. All you have to do is take care of your health and be lucky enough to live for a while. But you can't have it all at once and you can't have it forever. No life has the room for everything in it, not on the same day.

Barbara Sher

One who limits himself to his chosen mode of ignorance.

Elbert Hubbard

Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.

Blaise Pascal

I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me, let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me, and from my mother to my wife to my daughter, every time I try to really figure them out, and think I've got them pegged, I pay for it.

Andrew Stanton

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Albert Einstein

A photographer without a magazine behind him is like a farmer without fields.

Norman Parkinson

A year from now, you're gonna weigh more or less than what you do right now.

Phil McGraw

I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?

Mick Jagger
