Beauty sat bathing by a spring

Anthony Munday

He knew that any given thing on the face of the earth could reveal the history of all things. One could open a book to any page, or look at a person's hand; one could turn a card, or watch the flight of birds... whatever the thing observed, one could find a connection with his experience of the moment. Actually, it wasn't that those things, in themselves, revaled anything at all; it was just that people, looking at what was ocurring around them, could find a means of penetration to the Soul of the World.

Paulo Coelho

Steven Wright

One of the troubles about vanity is that it grows with what it feeds on. The more you are talked about, the more you will wish to be talked about

Bertrand Russell

Truth is no road to fortune

Jean Jacques Rousseau

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

Albert Einstein

With one hand he put a penny in the urn of poverty, and with the other took a shilling out.

Robert Pollok

The gratification of desire is not happiness.

Daisaku Ikeda

I think if you're at the point where you're popular enough to sell your wedding photos to OK! Magazine then you don't need the money.

As it happened, all three of us turned out to be real writers--a coincidence almost too large to be termed mere coincidence in a society where literally tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of college students aspire to the writer's trade and where bare hundreds actually break through.

Stephen King

What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?

Ernest Hemingway

Over time, hidden truths morph in the dark soil of deceit into something much worse.

Patti Callahan Henry
