A short story is a different thing all together - a short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger.

Divorced from the cosmos, from nature, from society and from each other, we have become fractured and fragmented.

Daisaku Ikeda

The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.

Aldous Huxley

This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.

Sir Winston Churchill

Money does not guarantee success.

Jose Mourinho

Examples is more forcible than precept. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh.

Robert Cecil

Never think that Jesus commanded a trifle, nor dare to trifle with anything He has commanded.

Dwight L. Moody

Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

Vince Lombardi

I love bummer songs.

Ben Gibbard

We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin. I have heard others, and I have heard myself, recounting cruelties and falsehoods committed in boyhood as if they were no concern of the present speaker's, and even with laughter. But mere time does nothing either to the fact or to the guilt of a sin. The guilt is washed out not by time but by repentance and the blood of Christ: if we have repented these early sins we should remember the price of our forgiveness and be humble.

C.S. Lewis

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

Daniel Day-Lewis

I don't expect to win every battle but I think Fred Pierce has enough respect for me that I can go fight my battles and win my share.

Roone Arledge

When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
