The sad thing is that I feel so boring because 'Twilight' is literally how every conversation I have these days begins - whether it's someone I'm meeting for the first time or someone I just haven't seen in a while. The first thing I want to say to them is, 'It's insane! And, as a person, I can't do anything!'

The manager with the in basket problem does not yet understand that he must discipline himself to take care of activities that fail to excite him.

Pricilla Elfrey

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.

John Donne

Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.

Douglas William Jerrold, A Land

However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There are certain romances that belong in certain cities, in a certain atmosphere, in a certain time.

Sammy Davis, Jr.

Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.

Marcel Proust

He that works and does some Poem, not he that merely says one, is worthy of the name of Poet.

Thomas Carlyle

What intrigued me more than anything else was finding out the way in which everything, all of creation - all of it! - was held together by invisible chemical bonds, and I found a strange, inexplicable comfort in knowing that somewhere, even though we couldn't see it in our own world, there was a real stability.

Alan Bradley

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.

George Bernard Shaw

I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.

Captain J. G. Stedman

Spots are on the surface of the solar body where they are produced and also dissolved, some in shorter and others in longer periods. They are carried around the Sun; an important occurrence in itself.

Galileo Galilei

Health is the first muse, and sleep is the condition to produce it

Ralph Waldo Emerson
