It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.

A relationship isn't going to make me survive. It's the cherry on top.

Jennifer Aniston

It's quite hard to have your mom as a teacher - it's like, she's not necessarily a 'real teacher' for me. But she'd always teach me to really hear the music, and develop my ear, and to try and hear the harmonics of the piano.

Birdy

Fools rush in where incumbents fear to tread.

Norman Ralph Augustine

Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch.

J. B. Priestley

Our Imperfections Are What Make Us Perfect.

Lace Vintage

For what are the classics but the noblest thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.

Henry David Thoreau

Vulgar and obscene, the papers run rumors daily about people in show business, tales of wicked ways and witless affairs.

Carroll O'Connor

I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.

Queen Victoria

Wit - the salt with which the American humorist spoils his intellectual cookery by leaving it out.

Ambrose Bierce

Man is the only animal which esteems itself rich in proportion to the number and voracity of its parasites.

George Bernard Shaw

Old stories have a habit of being told and retold and changed. Each subsequent storyteller puts his or her mark upon it. Whatever truth the story once had is buried in bias and embellishment. The reasons do not matter as much as the story itself.

Erin Morgenstern

I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale.
