We would rather starve than sell our national honor.

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.

Hal Borland

I am an anarchist in politics and an impressionist in art as well as a symbolist in literature. Not that I understand what these terms mean, but I take them to be all merely synonyms of pessimist.

Henry Adams

Let's get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun.

Stephen King

Judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.

Simon Bolivar

My older brother Mike is an excellent trumpet player. By the time he was 12, he was playing around Kansas City in classical situations. He was already an amazing talent.

Pat Metheny

You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.

Dillon Burroughs

True liberty can exist only when justice is equally administered to all.

Lord Mansfield

Casey Stengel

He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger.

Salvatore Quasimodo

We need not feel ashamed of flirting with the zodiac. The zodiac is well worth flirting with.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls

Kahlil Gibran
