If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.

My first attempt at a kiss was in fifth grade, but it didn't go so well. Later, I used Boyz II Men and Jodeci songs to come on to girls. I had more success.

John Legend

Some men are like musical glasses; to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Start off everyday with a simple smile and get it over with.

W. C. Fields

No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The art of a people is a true mirror to their minds.

Jawaharlal Nehru

Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To know is to control.

Scott Reed

The world isn't kept running because it's a paying proposition. (God doesn't make a cent on the deal.) The world goes on because a few men in every generation believe in it utterly, accept it unquestioningly; they underwrite it with their lives.

Henry Miller

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson, A Return to

I was born with more power inside myself than I ever dreamed. But along with it there came no more sense than any other idiotic kid. Somewhere along in here I need to grow up into a man I can stand to live with. A man who doesn't just survive, but deserves to.

Orson Scott Card

Though our feelings come and go, Gods love for us does not.

C.S. Lewis

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
