Very few persons, comparatively, know how to Desire with sufficient intensity. They do not know what it is to feel and manifest that intense, eager, longing, craving, insistent, demanding, ravenous Desire which is akin to the persistent, insistent, ardent, overwhelming desire of the drowning man for a breath of air; of the shipwrecked or desert-lost man for a drink of water; of the famished man for bread and meat

Vain are the thousand creeds that move men's hearts, unutterably vain; Worthless as withered weeds, or idlest froth amid the boundless main.

Emily Bronte

I find the business world hard.

Haile Gebrselassie

Love the moment and the energy of the moment will spread beyond all boundaries.

Sister Corita Kent

I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.

Thomas A. Edison

What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can't define it.

Robert Morgan

In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.

Herodotus

...you ask me why I compare you to stars - it's simple - that's where your goddess has fled...

John Geddes

We need a sense of the value of time -- that is, of the best way to divide one's time into one's various activities.

Arnold Bennett

If one wants to get out and stay out of debt he should act his wage.

Wealth brings a heavy purse; poverty, a light spirit.

Leo Tolstoy

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.

Tom Robbins

I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.
