Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.

Happiness is always a coincidence.

Jose Bergamin

There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.

Alicia Keys

Science deals with epistemology, not with ontology.

Carlos Gershenson

None loves the messenger who brings bad news.

Sophocles

Ah, the power of two. There's nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills, parenting, cooking elaborate meals, purchasing a grown-up bed, jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?

Sloane Crosley

That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible.

Daryl Hannah

In a public dialogue with Salman in London he [Edward Said] had once described the Palestinian plight as one where his people, expelled and dispossessed by Jewish victors, were in the unique historical position of being 'the victims of the victims': there was something quasi-Christian, I thought, in the apparent humility of that statement.

Christopher Hitchens

I actually study boxing - my dad was a Golden Gloves champion so I learned how to fight at a very young age. Growing up in Brooklyn you always had to watch your back, so I pretty much learned to protect myself.

Lana Parrilla

To the query, What is a friend? his reply was A single soul dwelling in two bodies.

Aristotle

He did not know what love was. And he did not know what good it was. But he knew he carried it around with him, a scabrous spot of rot, of contagion, for which there was no cure.

Harry Crews

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

Samuel Smiles

Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.

Joel Osteen
