One of the most important of life´s lessons is to learn independance, to understand freedom. This means independence from attachments, from results, from opinions, and from expectations. Breaking attachments leads to freedom, but breaking attachments does not mean abandoning a loving and meaningful relationship, a relationship that nourrishes your soul. It means ending dependency on any person or thing. Love is never a dependency.

A friend is always good to have, but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down on me.

Dave Matthews

Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people.

Charles Dickens

I love that men like to look at women, that they love sports, that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men - that they never mature and are always just boys.

Krista Allen

I want to make movies that pierce people's hearts and touch them in some way, even if it's just for the night while they're in the cinema in that moment, I want to bring actual tears to their eyes and goosebumps to their skin.

Russell Crowe

I don't know really. I've always been interested in the small picture instead of the big one, and I've always been interested in relationship pictures.

Adrian Lyne

Love comes only once for those who know what LOVE is. Love comes again and again for those who know what LIFE is.

Anurag Gupta

The incredible thing about the human mind is that is didn't come with an instruction book.

Terry Riley

Unfortunately, that still leaves plenty of Americans who don't read much or think much -- who will still be extremely useful in unjust wars. We are sick about that. We did the best we could.

Kurt Vonnegut

The most powerful force possessed by the individual citizen is her own government. ... Government is the only organized mechanism that makes possible that level of shared disinterest known as the public good.

John Ralston Saul, The Unconscio

Rationalism is the enemy of art, though necessary as a basis for architecture.

Arthur Erickson

I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.

Anne Frank

In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.

Charles de Montesquieu
