People don't have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies.

If I do dream, would all my wealth would wake me! If I do wake, some planet strike me down, that I may slumber in eternal sleep!

William Shakespeare

Guilt is anger directed at ourselves - at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others - at what they did or did not do.

Peter McWilliams

When ambition ends, happiness begins.

Proverb

I weep at everything. I love things so much - I just never want to dilute that.

Chris Evans

Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal.

Francoise Sagan

Horses have hoofs to carry them over frost and snow; hair, to protect them from wind and cold. They eat grass and drink water, and fling up their heels.... Such is the real nature of horses.

There are two ways to go when you hit that crossroads in your life: There is the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay. Now, I'm sitting here and doing great.

Matthew Perry

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.

William Shakespeare

Negroes - Sweet and docile, Meek, humble, and kind: Beware the day - They change their mind.

Langston Hughes
