Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We pretend that we know our children, because it's easier than admitting the truth--from the minute that cord is cut, they are strangers. It's far easier to tell yourself your daughter is still a little girl than to see her in a bikini and realize she has the curves of a young woman; it's safer to say you're a good parent who has all the right conversations about drugs and sex than to acknowledge there are a thousand things she would never tell you.

Jodi Picoult

When I die, my epitaph should read: She Paid the Bills. That's the story of my private life.

Gloria Swanson

Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.

Hugh Walpole

You may not be able to change a situation, but with humor you can change your attitude about it.

Allen Klein

In universities and intellectual circles, academics can guarantee themselves popularity -- or, which is just as satisfying, unpopularity -- by being opinionated rather than by being learned.

A. N. Wilson

Every man is his own ancestor, and every man his own heir. He devises his own fortune, and he inherits his own past.

Francis Herbert Hedge

Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.

Marshall McLuhan

Mungkin kau harus berhenti memedulikan apa kata orang tentang dirimu.

Francisca Todi

He that is proud eats up himself; pride in his glass, his trumpet, his chronicle; and whatever praises itself but in the deed, devours the deed in the praise

William Shakespeare

Money is always there but the pockets change it is not in the same pockets after a change, and that is all there is to say about money.

Gertrude Stein

My first feeling about the paper and the attitude is that it is absurd.

Arthur Holly Compton
