People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship.

And thus I clothe my naked villanyWith odd old ends stolen out of holy writ;And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

William Shakespeare

But as long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending. It has endless potential.

Sarah Dessen

Science and religion have to go hand in hand with the mystery, because there's a certain point beyond which you say, There are no answers.

Ray Bradbury

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.

Henri Poincare

A computer will not make a good manager out of a bad manager. It makes a good manager better faster and a bad manager worse faster.

Edward Esber

The best thing about my job, though, is stopping at the end of the day and rejoining the human universe.

Orson Scott Card

The test of any man's character is how he takes praise.

When Christ said: I was hungry and you fed me, he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

Mother Theresa

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one's very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

George Eliot

I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.

Shaun White

The story - from Rumplestiltskin to War and Peace - is one of the basic tools invented by the human mind, for the purpose of gaining understanding. There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.

Ursula K. LeGuin

There is nothing that exasperates people more than a display of superior ability or brilliance in conversation. They seem pleased at the time, but their envy makes them curse the conversationalist in their heart.
