One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.

You see things as they are and ask, 'Why?' I dream things as they never were and ask, 'Why not?'the serpent saying to Eve

George Bernard Shaw, Back to Met

No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes.

William Ewart Gladstone

You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas.

Davy Crockett

Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.

Lisa St. Aubin De Teran

They say: In the long run truth will triumph; but it is untrue.

Anton Chekhov

There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.

Walter Scott

My non-violence bids me dedicate myself to the service of the minorities.

Mahatma Gandhi, 1947

The actor searches vainly for the sound of a vanished tradition, and critic and audience follow suit. We have lost all sense of ritual and ceremony -- whether it be connected with Christmas, birthdays or funerals -- but the words remain with us and old impulses stir in the marrow. We feel we should have rituals, we should do something about getting them and we blame the artists for not finding them for us. So the artist sometimes attempts to find new rituals with only his imagination as his source: he imitates the outer form of ceremonies, pagan or baroque, unfortunately adding his own trapping -- the result is rarely convincing. And after the years and years of weaker and waterier imitations we now find ourselves rejecting the very notion of a holy stage. It is not the fault of the holy that it has become a middle-class weapon to keep the children good.

Peter (Stephen Paul) Brook

Music has a poetry of its own, and that poetry is called melody.

Joshua Logan

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

Eleonora Duse

Love encompasses so much, reaches so far, and heals so deeply, that any attempt to describe it, no matter how poetic, only dilutes it.

Steve Maraboli

When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.

Ernest Hemingway
