Their rebukes have never made me angry, because I have always wondered why they did not rebuke me more. They should have. Their friendly praise has been one of the sweetest, most warming things in my life in the theater. I do go on the stage unafraid of them and with love in my heart for them.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw

It was the first time I was ever in love, and I learned a lot. Before that I'd never even thought about killing myself.

Steven Wright

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they're going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

Amy Winehouse

I was trying to do too many things at the same time, which is my nature. But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it.

Jimi Hendrix

I am not interested in the afterlife. Religion is supposed to be about losing your ego, not preserving it eternally in optimum conditions.

Karen Armstrong

If the views I have expressed be right, we can think of our civilization evolving with the growth of knowledge from small wandering tribes to large settled law.

John Boyd Orr

We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.

Alanis Morissette

The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.

Aldous Huxley

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.

Ray Bradbury

Spiritual effort and the joy that comes from understanding life go hand in hand like physical exertion and rest. Without physical exertion, there is no joy in rest; without spiritual effort, there can be no joyful understanding of life.

Leo Tolstoy

In both business and personal life, I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.

Ivanka Trump

The fear of losing is what makes competitors so great. Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a permanent loser.

O. J. Simpson
