One of the places where we lived when I was growing up had this big wood out the back. And starting when I was about 8, I used to enjoy just walking alone through the wood late. Eleven p.m. Midnight. Later.

Christian Bale

Your face encompasses the beauty of the whole earth. Your lips, as red as ripening fruit, gently part as if in pain. It is the smile of a corpse. Now the hand of death touches life. The chain is forged that links the thousand families that are dead to the thousand generations to come.

Edvard Munch

Steve Maraboli

You will care much less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

Oscar Wilde

Ryszard Kapuscinski

The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think.

John Burroughs

That others know: science. That others choose: politics.

James Richardson

When there is pain, there are no words. All pain is the same.

Toni Morrison

Science exists, moreover, only as a journey toward troth. Stifle dissent and you end that journey.
