Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.

Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.

Cassandra Clare

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

Chili Davis

It is better to be quotable than to be honest.

Tom Stoppard

You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.

Henrik Ibsen

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

Henry David Thoreau

The composition of this book has been for the author a long struggle of escape, and so must the reading of it be for most readers if the authors assault upon them is to be successful,a struggle of escape from habitual modes of thought and expression. The ideas which are here expressed so laboriously are extremely simple and should be obvious. The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping from the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds.

John Maynard Keynes

The next chapter of my life is always more interesting than the last one.

Michael Lipsey

I've accomplished a lot, but I still have more dreams that I want to achieve.

Joe Jonas

The quality of life is determined by its activities.

Aristotle

Well, if I am not vulgar, neither is my book. I wrote myself. Suggestiveness is always vulgar. But truth never. My book is not even remotely suggestive. I call things by their names. That is all.

Mary MacLane

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

Stephen Fry
