A person needs at intervals to separate himself from family and companions and go to new places. He must go without his familiars in order to be open to influences, to change.

Lost time is never found again.

Benjamin Franklin

You attend the funeral, you bid the dead farewell. You grieve. Then you continue with your life. And at times the fact of her absence will hit you like a blow to the chest, and you will weep. But this will happen less and less as time goes on. She is dead. You are alive. So live.

Neil Gaiman

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

But, in truth, it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there forever - provided, naturally, that you don't go and look. This is known as finance.

Terry Pratchett

Tana French

It was not desirable that the pitiless should have strong political feelings. All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working hours or shorter rations. And even when they become discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances.

George Orwell

A land without ruins is a land without memoriesa land without memories is a land without history.

Abram Joseph Ryan

You are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming, and encouraging your greatest asset.

If we were left solely to the wordy wit of legislators in Congress for our guidance, uncorrected by the seasonal experience and the effectual complaints of the people, America would not long retain her rank among the nations.

Henry David Thoreau

If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.

Ray Bradbury

Let's have some new cliches.

Samuel Goldwyn
