All we have, it seems to me, is the beauty of art and nature and life, and the love which that beauty inspires.

Being surrounded by love and people that care about your heart is the dream. That's what I would like on my last day.

Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, and what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, and what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way; -- all this comes of Authorship.

Donna Karan

Our world is so glutted with useless information, images, useless images, sounds, all this sort of thing. It's a cacophony, it's like a madness I think that's been happening in the past twenty-five years. And I think anything that can help a person sit in a room alone and not worry about it is good.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord.

Proverb

There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them.

George Orwell

No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.

David Jenkins

I can make a General in five minutes but a good horse is hard to replace.

Abraham Lincoln

He eats nothing but doves, love, and that breeds hot blood, and hot blood beget hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds is love.

William Shakespeare
