I recently took up ice sculpting. Last night I made an ice cube. This morning I made 12, I was prolific.

Sleeping together is a euphemism for people, but tantamount to marriage with cats.

Marge Piercy

Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! A message to us from the dead, - from human souls whom we never saw, who lived perhaps thousands of miles away; and yet these, on those little sheets of paper, speak to us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.

Charles Kingsley

I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain.

Venus Williams

It's easy to look at people and make a quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. and more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.

Sherrilyn Kenyon

I very much wished not to be noticed, and to be left alone, and I sort of succeeded.

Mary Oliver

It is not the length of life, but the depth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Theoretical principals must sometimes give way for the sake of practical advantages.

William Pitt

Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear.

Jean-Paul Sartre

If one had to worry about one's actions in respect of other people's ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.

Aleister Crowley

When a load of bricks, dumped on a corner lot, can arrange themselves into a house; when a handful of springs and screws and wheels, emptied on a desk, can gather themselves into a watch, then and not until then will it seem sensible, to some of us at least, to believe that all these thousands or millions of worlds could have been created, balanced and set to revolving in their separate orbits -- all without any directing intelligence at all.

Bruce Barton

The world is like a grand staircase, some are going up and some are going down.

Samuel Johnson

My heart is so light that it's amazing. I get to play all this grief, all this loss, all this disaster and chaos. It's hysterically funny. I am very light.

Linda Hamilton
