Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

Humanity's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.

Terry Pratchett

Sometimes, I feel like one who is on the sidelines, who has missed life itself.

Nelson Mandela

Half wits talk much, but say little.

Benjamin Franklin

Every European visitor to the United States is struck by the comparative rarity of what he would call a face, by the frequency of men and women who look like elderly babies. If he stays in the States for any length of time, he will learn that this cannot be put down to a lack of sensibility -- the American feels the joys and sufferings of human life as keenly as anybody else. The only plausible explanation I can find lies in his different attitude to the past. To have a face, in the European sense of the word, it would seem that one must not only enjoy and suffer but also desire to preserve the memory of even the most humiliating and unpleasant experiences of the past.

W. H. Auden

Less is more.

Robert Browning

My dad? He died when I was 19, which is a bad time for your dad to die, because there's an awful lot of things you have to resolve with your parents past your teens if you've been a difficult teenager.

Robbie Coltrane

People are more comfortable learning about wine because now they can just Google, you know, 'Soave,' and say, 'Oh, O.K., cool.'

Gary Vaynerchuk

My life path has been a blessing and a great learning experience. Skateboarding is my passion and I don't see that changing. When I'm not skating, I love to surf. I'm open to the new experiences and opportunities.

Ryan Sheckler

I slept with my mom until I was 16 years old.

Jennifer Hudson

The Bible is God's sacred Word of truth.

Joseph Franklin Rutherford

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.

Rumi

That to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destoryed

Cassandra Clare
