Most personalities have been obliged to be rebels. Half their strength has been wasted in friction.

The price one pays for pursuing any profession, or calling, is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side.

James A. Baldwin

Every man has his follies - and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.

Josh Billings

Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.

Oliver Goldsmith

No one leaves a long-term relationship scot-free or without conflict.

Susie Orbach

My religious beliefs teach me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself with that, but to be always ready whenever it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and all men would be equally brave.

Stonewall Jackson

A twenty-one-year-old writer is likely to be inhibited by a lack of usable experience. Childhood and adolescence were something I knew.

Ian Mcewan

Sports have become increasingly more specialized, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be fun.

Mia Hamm

Having loving and supporting parents didn't make me feel any better about the possibility of seeing my personal life splashed across newspapers and tabloids.

Mary Cheney

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Dr. Seuss

We all want to be happy, and we're all going to die. You might say those are the only two unchallengeably true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.

William Boyd

Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.

Oscar Wilde

Dear me! I must be turning into a god.

Vespasian
