The simplest principles become difficult of practice, when habits, formed in error, have been fixed by time, and the simplest truths hard to receive when prejudice has warped the mind.

We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.

Rabindranath Tagore

Saying nothing... sometimes says the most.

Emily Dickinson

An affair wants to spill, to share its glory with the world. No act is so private it does not seek applause.

John Updike

The most complicated skill is to be simple.

Dejan Stojanovic

Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.

Moliere

I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty.

Jacqueline Bisset

Language was invented to ask questions. Answers may be given by grunts and gestures, but questions must be spoken. Humanness came of age when man asked the first question. Social stagnation results not from a lack of answers but from the absence of the impulse to ask questions.

Eric Hoffer

Everyone, left to his own devices, forms an idea about what goes on in language which is very far from the truth.

Ferdinand De Saussure

For a poet he threw a very accurate milk bottle.

Ernest Hemingway

Never trust anyone completely but God. Love people, but put your full trust only in God.

Lawrence Welk

Before I left for Germany, I had gotten accepted to the performing arts high school in New York, which was a big dream of mine. And having to leave that was very sad for me.

Nina Arianda

Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.
