The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling - that you'd take on vacation and rather than going out, you'd read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully that's what readers are responding to.

I believe in God, not because the Bible tells me that he is, but because my heart tells me so; and the same heart tells me we can only have His peace with us if we love Him and obey Him, and that we can only he happy when we each love our neighbour better than ourselves.

James Anthony Froude

A refined nature is vexed by knowing that some one owes it thanks, a coarse nature by knowing that it owes thanks to some one

Friedrich Nietzsche

You have had a dream for so many years. Let today be the day you make a plan for it. Just think about how much more likely you are to hit your target when you finally aim at it.

Steve Maraboli

Wealth, in even the most improbable cases, manages to convey the aspect of intelligence.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Deviation from nature is deviation from happiness

Samuel Johnson

I saw the only rational method of art criticism I have ever come across ... Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best. The mortality among pianists in that place is marvellous.

Oscar Wilde, Impressions of Amer

It's okay for Christians throughout centuries to exterminate races and for their priests to rape little kids throughout decades, but trying to give the people the power to think and be individual, that's evil?

Glenn Danzig

It's like, once you've seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes, the Oscars, you've seen his wife, what kind of car he drives, when you watch his movies, you can't fully get really lost in them.

Justin Theroux

I grew up painting and playing piano so when I was a little kid I thought I was going to be an artist or a painter but my mom had me taking piano lessons for about 10-12 years as a young kid.

Mike Shinoda

Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health.

George Herbert

In America everybody is of opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards.

Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essa
