We realize our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time; it is basically a problem of priorities. We confess, We have left undone those things that ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.

Many people have died for what they believe... the real courage is living and suffering for what you believe.

Christopher Paolini

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

Mark Twain

A true gentleman is at a disadvantage in dealing with women. Women are realist, and their tactics are realistic, so no man should be a gentleman where women are concerned unless the women are very, very young. Women admire gentlemen, and sleep with cads.

Louis L'Amour, The Walking Drum

I had seen the princess and let her lie there unawakened, because the happily ever after was so damnably much work.

Orson Scott Card

No story lives unless someone wants to listen. So thank you, all of you.

J.K. Rowling

Monsieur Bienvenu was simply a man who accepted these mysterious questions...and who had in his soul a deep respect for the mystery which enveloped them.

Victor Hugo

The idea of going on tour for the rest of my life with old works is not that exciting. As an artist I definitely think the work in future is going to be better than the work in the past, otherwise why do it?

Damien Hirst

The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.

Henry Miller

None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.

Marshal Ferdinand Foch

I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.

Jennifer Lopez

You're scrutinized all through your life - you're scrutinized by your family, by yourself, by society, and your friends in a certain way, shape, or form.

Colin Farrell

Most of us, when all is said and done, like what we like and make up reasons for it afterwards.
