Passions are the gales of life.

The only gift is a portion of thyself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!

William James

Emotion is the surest arbiter of a poetic choice, and it is the priest of all supreme unions in the mind.

Max Eastman

It's one thing to have a relationship, to lay your hands on it, and another to make it continue and last. That's something I haven't talked about much in my comic strips, and it's certainly something I'm interested in.

Lynda Barry

When I think of myself at 15, even 17, I could simply not have done this work on an international level and travel all the time, take care of myself and not feel lost. I feel very happy that this is happening now, and not 10 years ago, as I feel stronger as a person.

Saskia de Brauw

Nothing is so envied as genius, nothing so hopeless of attainment by labor alone. Though labor always accompanies the greatest genius, without the intellectual gift labor alone will do little.

B. R. Hayden

It is very easy to make clear what you want a film to say, but I did not wish to engage in overt propaganda, even for the right cause. I wanted to create an experience through the films, something where people could have the freedom of their own response to them.

Godfrey Reggio

For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Albert Camus

I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way. I am a fool.

Kurt Vonnegut

Because I'm always away, coming home to a clean house means a lot to me. Trust me, I've lived with a lot of roommates, and straight guys are just kids who don't pick up after themselves.

Kellan Lutz

It is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal.

George Eliot

Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.

Albert Camus
