The soul, by an instinct stronger than reason, ever associates beauty with truth.

Colloquial poetry is to the real art as the barber's wax dummy is to sculpture.

Ezra Pound

And then I got what she was saying. In the paranormal world, everyone was your enemy.

Jayde Scott

I find no sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones.

Walt Whitman

The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Lila can't be a model until she's at least 21. She is already a mini-me - it is scary. She already has her own beauty kit.

Kate Moss

The mystic prophets of the absolute cannot save us. Sustained by our history and traditions, we must save ourselves, at whatever risk of heresy or blasphemy. We can find solace in the memorable representation of the human struggle against the absolute in the finest scene in the greatest of American novels. I refer of course to the scene when Huckleberry Finn decides that the ''plain hand of Providence'' requires him to tell Miss Watson where her runaway slave Jim is to be found. Huck writes his letter of betrayal to Miss Watson and feels ''all washed clean of sin for the first time I had ever felt so in my life, and I knowed I could pray now.'' He sits there for a while thinking ''how good it was all this happened so, and how near I come to being lost and going to hell.''Then Huck begins to think about Jim and the rush of the great river and the talking and the singing and the laughing and friendship. ''Then I happened to look around and see that paper. . . . I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was a-trembling because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: 'All right, then, I'll go to hell' - and tore it up.''

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., lect

I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.

Sharon Stone

This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.

Katherine Johnson

I wish there were more true conversion, and then there would not be so much backsliding, and, for fear of suffering, living at ease, when there are so few to contend for Christ and His cause.

Donald Cargill

That's what so many people didn't understand about life. The real world is the one within the walls of homes; the outside world, of careers and politics and money and fame, that was the fake world, where nothing lasted, and things were real only to the extent they harmed or helped people inside their homes.

Orson Scott Card

See it first in your mind, then become it.
