Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Rowan D. Williams

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.

Wendell Phillips

When I see myself on film it makes me smile, I mean making a good living doing what I enjoy is soo much fun. I just hope that everyone has the chance to enjoy life like I do.

Adrienne Barbeau

Sue Kelly

The greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.

Albert Camus

Friendship is a word, the very sight of which in print makes the heart warm.

Augustine Birrell

The wise know too well their weakness to assume infallibility; and he who knows most, knows best how little he knows

Thomas Jefferson

It is not my experience that life's difficulties make people more charitable.

Cormac McCarthy

Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet.

Victor Hugo

There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by unfolding of his powers.

Erich Fromm

The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.

Oscar Wilde
