Jay Woodman

And even if you hate her, can't stand her, even if she's ruining your life, there's something about her, some romance, some power. She's absolutely herself. No matter how hard you try, you'll never get to her. And when she dies, the world will be flat, too simple, reasonable, fair.

Mona Simpson

I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling rejected by the American people. I'm tired of waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the war.

Lyndon B. Johnson

He who lives without folly isn't so wise as he thinks.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm intimidated by the fear of being average.

Taylor Swift

I really do love football.

Ricky Williams

Daniel Clowes

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

Dwight L. Moody

There was this funny thing of anything could happen now that we realized everything had.

Raymond Carver

There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.

Billy Graham
