I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.

More people are reading poetry now than at any time in the history of the human race.

Andrew Motion

You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.

Alexander Herzen

Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.

David Wilkerson

We have that illusion that we are 'deciding' what to make a character do, in order to 'convey our message' or something like that. But, at least in my experience, you are often more like a river-rafting guide who's been paid a bonus to purposely steer your clients into the roughest possible water.

George Saunders

What a sense of security in an old book which time has criticized for us.

James Russell Lowell

I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.

Christina Aguilera

I have serious doubts about the value of debates in a presidential election. They tend to be a test of reaction time rather than a genuine exposition of the participants philosophies and programs. Further, in debate, candidates tend to overstate their views. In the 1960 situation I had a very practical objection: Nixon was widely known; Kennedy was not; dramatic debates would therefore help Kennedy.

Dwight D Eisenhower

When it becomes a revolutionary act to eat real food, we are in trouble.

Mark Hyman

We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.

Barbara Ehrenreich

All the world is competent to judge my pictures except those who are of my profession.

William Hogarth

Most bosses know instinctively that their power depends more on employee's compliance than on threats or sanctions.

Fernanda Bartolme

Goethe tells us in his greatest poem that Faust lost the liberty of his soul when he said to the passing moment, 'Stay, thou art so fair.'

Robert Francis Kennedy
