If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

At all ages, if [fantasy and myth] is used well by the author and meets the right reader, it has the same power: to generalize while remaining concrete, to present in palpable form not concepts or even experiences but whole classes of experience, and to throw off irrelevancies. Bat at its best it can do more; it can give us experiences we have never had and thus, instead of 'commenting on life,' can add to it.

C.S. Lewis

L'homme est libre au moment qu'il veut l'être.

Voltaire

The blood jet is poetry and there is no stopping it.

Sylvia Plath

Victor Hugo

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Dale Carnegie

Michael Nutter

The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it - basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.

Charles Bukowski

As an actor, to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I'm not going to get any more work it's about not having enough money.

Paul Giamatti

Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.

Vincent Van Gogh

People like passion in politics.

Ed Gillespie
