It's my old girl that advises. She has the head. But I never own to it before her. Discipline must be maintained.

The human face is the organic seat of beauty. It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.

Eliza Farnham

One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite -- that particular peach is but a detail.

Pablo Picasso

Some people are born hammers, others anvils.

Proverb

I had learned that a dexterous, opposable thumb stood among the hallmarks of human success. We had maintained, even exaggerated, this important flexibility of our primate forebears, while most mammals had sacrificed it in specializing their digits. Carnivores run, stab, and scratch. My cat may manipulate me psychologically, but he'll never type or play the piano.

Stephen Jay Gould

Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.

Marcus Aurelius

Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.

Thomas Szasz

The only possible society is oneself.

Oscar Wilde

Music from my iPod was setting my life to a dramatic soundtrack that only I could hear.

Catherine Sanderson

Jill told me that when you're really in love, you know right away. I'm not exactly sure how this happens. Is it like a flash of lightning? Like an angel tapping you on the shoulder? Or is it similar to choosing a puppy? You think you're picking the cutest one, but really you wind up going home with the one who keeps insisting on climbing into your lap.

Alice Hoffman

If we have built on the fragile cornerstones of human wisdom, pride, and conditional love, things may look good for a while, but a weak foundation causes collapse when storms hit.

Charles Stanley

There's no particular relationship between spending and educational results. Most education spending is actually on salaries, and that's allocated according to political muscle.

Peter Brimelow

Age does not matter if the matter does not age.

Carlos Pena Romulo
