The sea is mother-death and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up.

If you say, 'I'm going to cut this song because I know the teenagers are going to love it,' well, then you're going to alienate everybody else. When I cut my record, I'm just going to cut the things that I like, and whoever likes it, likes it. That's too much work to try to figure out the demographic. That's too much like a business.

Jason Aldean

The wisdom of many and the wit of one.

John Russell, 1st Earl Russell

I never close a door on any other religion. Most of the time, some part of it makes sense to me. I don't believe everyone has to chant just because I chant. I believe all religion is about touching something inside of yourself.

Tina Turner

Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It's kind of like the indie music scene.

Diablo Cody

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Mother Theresa

I'll never stop a bullet but a bullet might stop me. I'll never drink the ocean but the ocean might drink me. And I'll never raise a portrait to a gentle man in blue And I'll never sing a love song for a love that isn't true. I love how the garden grows And I love the garden rose.

Becky Stark

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Michel de Montaigne

Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must be obscure and unostentatious.

Marguerite Gardiner

Life's heaviest burden is to have nothing to carry.

Source Unknown

In civilized life, where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of man, depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is constantly acting a studied part.

Jeremy Collier

Seeing the family is a very important part of my weekend.

Susannah York

Virtue is its own reward. There's a pleasure in doing good which sufficiently pays itself.

Sir John Vanbrugh
