The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.

The suffering of either sex -- of the male who is unable, because of the way in which he was reared, to take the strong initiating or patriarchal role that is still demanded of him, or of the female who has been given too much freedom of movement as a child to stay placidly within the house as an adult -- this suffering, this discrepancy, this sense of failure in an enjoined role, is the point of leverage for social change.

Margaret Mead

I love the concept of togetherness and the entwinement of marriage.

William Shatner

He is happiest of whom the world says least, good or bad

Thomas Jefferson

Before everyone stands a image of what he ought to be. So long as he is not that his peace is not complete.

Ruckett

Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it come to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.

Henry David Thoreau

Old myths, old gods, old heroes have never died. They are only sleeping at the bottom of our mind, waiting for our call. We have need for them. They represent the wisdom of our race.

Stanley Kunitz

The cost of growth is always a small act of violence.

Jodi Picoult

Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.

Ray Bradbury

Love gives itself; it is not bought.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial it was something very personal to me.

Enya

Hey guys!Wish you were here, except not really. We're having fun. Check it out-the pyramids!-Alec and Magnus

Cassandra Clare

In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.
