Nothing is more powerful than custom or habit.

Ovid

Shigeru Miyamoto

The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.

Dag Hammarskjold

I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilized life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of their striving is to no purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men's work?

William Allingham

But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.

William Wordsworth

God would never have let us long for our friends with such a strong and holy love, if they were not waiting for us.

William Mountford

I can write pretty much anywhere if you give me time and some quiet. The home is not usually the best place because I have four children. It's usually pandemonium around here!

Harlan Coben

'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming alone; all her lovely companions are faded and gone.

Thomas Moore

He who fears to suffer, suffers from fear.

Proverb

Scott took LITERATURE so solemnly. He never understood that it was just writing as well as you can and finishing what you start.

Ernest Hemingway
