Stories never really end...even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page.

Past and to come seems best; things present worst

William Shakespeare

In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments there are consequences.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.

Ernest Hemingway

You should *have* an experience; it shouldn't just *be* an experience.

Alan Cumming

Smokers, male and female, inject and excuse idleness in their lives every time they light a cigarette.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

Women were seldom given quality assignments or adequate air time.

Jessica Savitch

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

Denis Waitley

I am involved with 'Write Girl,' which is such a great organization, because they go into inner city schools and work with underprivileged girls to pair them up with other writers. And it gets them learning to express themselves and become familiar with their own voice. They have a 100% success ratio getting those girls into college.

Melissa Rosenberg

I'm a role model now. I didn't know I was gonna have 13-year-old fans, so I've tried to change a few things here and there. But I also know that the girls don't want me to be Miley Cyrus, either.

Nicki Minaj

Whether women are better than men I cannot say - but I can say they are certainly no worse.

Golda Meir

A mind lively and at ease, can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.

Jane Austen

Our nature is the mind. And the mind is our nature.
