Steve Prefontaine

...by association with natures enormities, a man's heart may truly grow big also. There is a way of looking upon a landscape as a moving picture and being satisfied with nothing less big as a moving picture, a way of looking upon tropic clouds over the horizon as the backdrop of a stage and being satisfied with nothing less big as a backdrop, a way of looking upon the mountain forests as a private garden and being satisfied with nothing less as a private garden, a way of listening to the roaring waves as a concert and being satisfied with nothing less as a concert, and a way of looking upon the mountain breeze as an air-cooling system and being satisfied with nothing less as an air-cooling system. So do we become big, even as the earth and firmaments are big. Like the 'Big Man' described by Yuan Tsi (A.D. 210-263), one of China's first romanticists, we 'live in heaven and earth as our house.'

Cecelia Ahern

When a match has equal partners then I fear not.

Aeschylus

Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.

Tony Benn

In 1965, I marched for equality.

Alphonso Jackson

The business of the law is to make sense of the confusion of what we call human life -- to reduce it to order but at the same time to give it possibility, scope, even dignity.

Archibald MacLeish

The art of effective listening is essential to clear communication, and clear communication is necessary to management success.

James Cash Penney

Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.

Yoko Ono

He had lost Will Herondale. And he did not know if he could ever get him back.

Cassandra Clare

Biggest damfool mistake I ever made.

Dwight D Eisenhower

You may keep your beauty and your health, unless you destroy them yourself, or discourage them to stay with you, by using them ill.

William Temple
