Stay with me always, my sweet, my love . . . my Claire.

Every philosophy is the philosophy of some stage of life.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I could write an entertaining novel about rejection slips, but I fear it would be overly long.

Louise Brown

Politics is a pendulum whose swings between anarchy and tyranny are fueled by perpetually rejuvenated illusions.

Albert Einstein

'Teen Moms!' I started watching them like the first two seasons, and I stopped. I stopped because they are too young. I feel sorry for them. And I didn't watch that show 'Hoarders.' That thing would made my skin crawl.

NeNe Leakes

My father, Phillip Gilmore, was very talented. He was getting seriously into dancing. He was on 'Soul Train' and won $2,500. But the Bay Area was too small for him. I don't think he had the space to do what he needed to do.

Mahershala Ali

I find that the best way to do things is to constantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward, if you make a mistake say you made a mistake.

John Frusciante

Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.

Clarence Darrow

The sea - this truth must be confessed - has no generosity. No display of manly qualities - courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness - has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.

Joseph Conrad

Americans have been conditioned to respect newness, whatever it costs them.

John Updike

Laughs are exactly as honorable as tears. Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion, to the futility of thinking and striving anymore. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

Kurt Vonnegut

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Napoleon Hill

He who upholds Truth with all the might of his power, He who upholds Truth the utmost in his word and deed, He, indeed, is Thy most valued helper, O Mazda Ahura!

Zoroaster
