In my particular instance, I came from a family that didn't have anything. Everything I earned in life I made. Myself. With songs that I wrote.

You're alive, that means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change.

Neil Gaiman

The man who fails because he aims astray or because he does not aim at all is to be found everywhere.

Frank Swinnerton

Beauty crowds me till I die,Beauty, mercy have on me!But if I expire today,Let it be in sight of thee

Emily Dickinson

A man who uses a great many words to express his meaning is like a bad marksman who, instead of aiming a single stone at an object, takes up a handful and throws at it in hopes he may hit

Samuel Johnson

We're all the same. We all want the same thing in life. Everybody going around like ants and we all want the same thing. And it's not one queen. It's not one queen with the wings.

Andrea Corr

Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man's ken now are but poor-mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and clich?-shouting publicity agents. Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance, ignorance bringing them nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to God.

Sean O'Casey

There are worse things you can do to people you love than kill them.

Chuck Palahniuk

It ain't over 'till it's over.

Yogi Berra

I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.

Michelle Williams

A misconception remains a misconception, even when it is shared by the majority of people.

Leo Tolstoy

I think there's a time to work, and everyone has to kind of adjust. And then there's a time to relax, and be the mom or take the kids on vacation when you need to wind down. So it's a matter of planning, and being able to map out your year or your week or let's start with the day. It is just being multi-tasking and being available.

Vanessa Williams

Mostly I sit at home in the evenings watching the box and hoping that one day I'll evolve into plankton.
