What is a soul? It's like electricity - we don't really know what it is, but it's a force that can light a room.

The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance.

Herodotus

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what's crushing you.

Jeanette Winterson

A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.

Barbara Ehrenreich

The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.

Alexander Smith

Fear is a habit; so is self-pity, defeat, anxiety, despair, hopelessness and resignation. You can eliminate all of these negative habits with two simple resolves: I can!! and I will!!

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

Denzel Washington

No man is rich enough to buy back his past.

Oscar Wilde

Immortality is what nature possesses without effort and without anybody's assistance, and immortality is what the mortals must therefore try to achieve if they want to live up to the world into which they were born, to live up to the things which surround them and to whose company they are admitted for a short while.

Hannah Arendt

Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.

Milan Kundera

Bodily labor alleviates the pains of the mind and from this arises the happiness of the poor.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Friendship has always belonged to the core of my spiritual journey.

Henri Nouwen
