Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

Antoine De SaintExupery

We know from daily life that we exist for other people first of all, for whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.

Albert Einstein

His grandmother had taught him that there was no such thing as coincidence. There are millions of people in this world, she had told him, and the spirits will see that most of them, you never have to meet. But there are one or two that you are tied to, and spirits will cross you back and forth, threading so many knots until they catch and you finally get it right.

Jodi Picoult

For to do things with care is the closest thing to love that I know the cape of grace falling softly about the shoulders as we focus on the task at hand whether it be to listen or to leave or to learn.

I have resolved on an enterprise that has no precedent and will have no imitator. I want to set before my fellow human beings a man in every way true to nature and that man will be myself.

Charles Baudelaire

Don't be swayed just because they say it's public opinion. Remember, public opinion is simple what everybody else thinks.

But if he does really think that there is no distinction between virtue and vice, why, Sir, when he leaves our houses let us count our spoons.

Samuel Johnson

Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone.

Richard Linklater

I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell -- you see, I have friends in both places.

Mark Twain
