There is no reason for beauty. It just is.

A compelling story, even if factually inaccurate, can be more emotionally compelling than a dry recitation of the truth.

Frank Luntz

Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.

Pele

I'm not in control of my muse. My muse does all the work.

Ray Bradbury

Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death.

Edith Wharton

The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.

Walt Whitman

The best thing I've done with my money is buy a house for my family. You wake up to a house you love and you feel like somebody.

Ice Cube

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.

Stephen King

Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.

Charles Lindbergh

I hope someday we will be able to proclaim that we have banished hunger in the United States, and that we've been able to bring nutrition and health to the whole world.

George McGovern

My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.

Bob Dylan

When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene.

Jane Austen

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Sir John Lubbock
