I had this really great amazing thing happen where I almost finished the book and I really needed to come up with an ending and I decided to go back and re-read the book and see if I could come up with an ending.

Oh! it is absurd to have a hard-and-fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.

Oscar Wilde

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.

Saint John of the Cross

The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

Malcolm Forbes

I've always believed in God. I also think that's the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you're in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

Stephen King

Thinking will never be a waste of time, because it prevents you from wasting time in the future.

History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice.

Tim Pawlenty

I have often noticed that nationalism is at its strongest at the periphery. Hitler was Austrian, Bonaparte Corsican. In postwar Greece and Turkey the two most prominent ultra-right nationalists had both been born in Cyprus. The most extreme Irish Republicans are in Belfast and Derry (and Boston and New York). Sun Yat Sen, father of Chinese nationalism, was from Hong Kong. The Serbian extremists Miloševi? and Karadži? were from Montenegro and their most incendiary Croat counterparts in the tended to hail from the frontier lands of Western Herzegovina.

Christopher Hitchens

Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.

Christian Nevell Bovee

True glory lies in noble deeds.

Women, can't live with them, can't live without them.

Desiderius Erasmus

In this world truth can wait; she is used to it.

Douglas William Jerrold

If you get all the facts, your judgment can be right; if you don't get all the facts, it can't be right.

Bernard Baruch
