The short words are best, and the old words are the best of all.

I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.

Halle Berry

I think I could be a good woman if I had five thousand a year.

Becky Sharp

The willingness to take risks is our grasp of faith.

George E. Woodberry

People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.

Mick Jagger

A stop sign is a gift for you to learn that moving in the same direction won't take you any place new.

Rex Steven Sikes

The future is a world limited by ourselves; in it we discover only what concerns us and, sometimes, by chance, what interests those whom we love the most.

Maurice Maeterlinck

I've noticed that my resolutions involve me not doing stuff that I wasn't going to do anyway so here's something more positive. I'm going to retrain as a Latin teacher in a provincial public school.

Arthur Smith

The last time doesn't exist. It's only this time. And everything is going to be different this time. There's only now.

Bill Murray

People should have freedom in their pilgrimages and tours. They should come and visit historical monuments and sites - let's say the sites around Iran - where they can easily engage in wide- scale contacts with others.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Voting is how we participate in a civic society - be it for president, be it for a municipal election. It's the way we teach our children - in school elections - how to be citizens, and the importance of their voice.

Loretta Lynch

Victor Frankl

However baby man may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make; nevertheless, by the continual repetition of these very impressions, man has lost that sense of the full awfulness of the sea which aboriginally belongs to it.

Herman Melville
