I have no spurTo prick the sides of my intent, but onlyVaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itselfAnd falls on the other.

There's no abiding success without commitment.

Anthony Robbins

I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine, if you want - but also some sort of sadness, and plain mischief, of course.

Siouxsie Sioux

In every age there has been a stream of popular opinion that has carried all before it, and given a family character, as it were, to the century.

Mary Wollstonecraft

But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.

Abu Bakar Bashir

It's cool now to play golf.

Tiger Woods

Madness is to think of too many things in succession too fast, or of one thing too exclusively

Voltaire

...music is the perfect type of art. Music can never reveal its ultimate secret. This, also, is the explanation of the value of limitations in art. The sculptor gladly surrenders imitative colour, and the painter the actual dimensions of form, because by such renunciations they are able to avoid too definite a presentation of the Real, which would be mere imitation, and too definite a realisation of the Ideal, which would be too purely intellectual. It is through its very incompleteness that art becomes complete in beauty, and so addresses itself, not to the faculty of recognition nor to the faculty of reason, but to the aesthetic sense alone, which, while accepting both reason and recognition as stages of apprehension, subordinates them both to a pure synthetic impression of the work of art as a whole, and, taking whatever alien emotional elements the work may possess, uses their very complexity as a means by which a richer unity may be added to the ultimate impression itself.

Oscar Wilde, Intentions

There are a lot of people like me, people who need books the way they need air.

Richard Marek

With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone on stone;We bear the burden and the heatOf the long day, and wish 'twere done.Not till the hours of light returnAll we have built as we discern.

Matthew Arnold, Morality (st. 2)

No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people don't care about them. You are not alone.

Kurt Vonnegut

I love crying at romantic movies like 'The Notebook.' I'm always bawling.

Fergie
