People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

Oscar Wilde

Excess generally causes reaction, and produces a change in the opposite direction, whether it be in the seasons, or in individuals, or in governments.

Plato

I don't understand complicated problems. I only understand simple ones.

Richard Deupree

Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Philosophers are only men in armor after all.

Charles Dickens

Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?

Aldous Huxley

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

Aesop

I can't prove it scientifically, that there's a God, but I believe.

Billy Graham

Songs are funny things. They can slip across borders. Proliferate in prisons. Penetrate hard shells. I always believed that the right song at the right moment could change history.

Pete Seeger

Somewhere there's a score being kept, so you have an obligation to live life as well as you can, be as engaged as you can. The human condition means that we can zone out and forget what the hell we're doing.

Bill Murray

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

Johann von Goethe

I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.

Nigella Lawson
