If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter.

When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.

Martin Buber

We are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other -- male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other. Many of my countrymen appear to find this fact exceedingly inconvenient and even unfair, and so, very often, do I. But none of us can do anything about it.

James Baldwin

I've flown across America, I've scaled fences, I've stood under windows and gone out of my way hundreds of times. I'm a hopeless romantic. There's no hope for me.

Joel Madden

George Eliot

Why can't all different types of women be considered beautiful? Why can't we can't we all be considered possible love interests?

Margaret Cho

To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness.

Benjamin Franklin

What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

Edward George BulwerLytton

Music is really something that makes people whole.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

God has prepared a path for everyone to follow.

Paulo Coelho

Life begins when you get out of the grandstand into the game.

P. L. Debevoise

Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized.

Andrea Dworkin

Competition got me off the farm and trained me to seek out challenges and to endure setbacks and in combination with my faith, it sustains me now in my fight with Alzheimer's disease.
