O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave?Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.

Johann von Goethe

Sometimes you don't know who you can and cannot trust. I still learn that over and over again.

Demi Lovato

You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.

Stephen King

Highly educated bores are by far the worst; they know so much, in such fiendish detail, to be boring about.

Louis Kronenberger

Oh, but she never wanted James to grow a day older or Cam either. These two she would have liked to keep for ever just as the way they were, demons of wickedness, angels of delight, never to see them grow up into long-legged monsters.

Virginia Woolf

You can't expect to prevent negative feelings altogether. And you can't expect to experience positive feelings all the time. The Law of Emotional Choice directs us to acknowledge our feelings but also to refuse to get stuck in the negative ones.

Greg Anderson

The intelligence community, for the most part, has no accountability at all to the Congress, to us the American people, and so they feel that they above the law.

Gloria Naylor

If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?

Stevie Nicks

Ana Castillo

Now I know from this very word and deed of yours what free choice is and is capable of, namely, madness.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I've been all over the world. I love New York, I love Paris, San Francisco, so many places. But there's no place like New Orleans. It's got the best food. It's got the best music. It's got the best people. It's got the most fun stuff to do.

Harry Connick, Jr.

Consider Social Security. The young have always contributed to the support of the old. Earlier, the young helped their own parents out of a sense of love and duty. They now contribute to the support of someone else's parents out of compulsion and fear. The voluntary transfers strengthened the bonds of the family; the compulsory transfers weaken those bonds.

Milton Friedman
