O month when they who love must love and wed.

I think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.

Jack White

If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.

Spike Lee

I can't imagine what it is like to be raised in a society where their only statues that exist are to you and your father.

Madeleine Albright

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,When the funds are low and the debts are highAnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh,When care is pressing you down a bit,Rest! If you must-but never quit.Life is queer, with its twists and turns,As every one of us sometimes learns,And many a failure turns aboutWhen he might of won if he'd stuck it out;Stick to your task, though the pace seems slows-You may succeed with one more blow.Success is failure turned inside out-The silver tint of the clouds of doubt-And you may never can tell how close you are,It may be near when it seems afar;So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-It's when things seem worse that YOU MUSN'T QUIT.

Anon., You Musn't Quit

When I started writing, I did have some idealised notion of my dad as a writer. But I have less and less of a literary rivalry with him as I've gone on. I certainly don't feel I need his approval, although maybe that's because I'm confident that I've got it.

Paul Theroux

All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority, otherwise called ambition.

Cesare Pavese

When you have a godly husband, a godly wife, children who respect their parents and who are loved by their parents, who provide for those children their physical and spiritual and material needs, lovingly, you have the ideal unit.

Jerry Falwell

We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.

Dale Carnegie

One of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it.

Mark Twain

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Growing up in a particular neighborhood, growing up in a working-class family, not having much money, all of those things fire you and can give you an edge, can give you an anger.

Gary Oldman

Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things.

Jean Baudrillard
