A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Without knowledge of what I am and why I am here, it is impossible to live, and since I cannot know that, I cannot live either. In an infinity of time, in an infinity of matter, and an infinity of space a bubble-organism emerges while will exist for a little time and then burst, and that bubble am I.

Leo Tolstoy

Give me wine to wash me clean of the weather-stains of cares

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.

Marilyn Monroe

The knowledge that we have about what it is to be human that we have as a child is something we necessarily must lose.

Dennis Potter

It's an infernal nuisance to love Life as I do. I seem to love it more as time goes on rather than less. It never becomes a habit to me. It's always a marvel. I do hope I'll be able to keep in it long enough to do some really good work. I'm sick of people dying who promise well.

Katherine Mansfield

It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.

Henry David Thoreau

The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economized by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null.

Walter Bagehot

Good sense is both the first principal and the parent source of good writing.

Horace

You know I used to listen to music a lot more.

Brett Favre

If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.

Thomas Carlyle

I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an air hole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.

Cyril Connolly

Death obsesses me, yes it does. I can't really understand why it doesn't obsess everyone - I think it does really, I'm just a little more out about it.

J. K. Rowling
