Student is not a container you have to fill but a torch you have to light up.

Sin is too stupid to see beyond itself.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.

Bell Hooks

True courage is like a kite; a contrary wind raises it higher.

J. PetitSenn

The burden of poverty isn't just that you don't always have the things you need, it's the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you'd do anything to lift that burden.

Jay-Z

If I'm going to Hell, I'm going there playing the piano.

Jerry Lee Lewis

The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence

Samuel Johnson

The one thing you've got to say about Columbia is that it has courses that are famous. It has alumni who come back and say it was the best thing they ever did.

William Scott

It's a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.

W. H. Auden

We shall say without hesitation that the atheist who is moved by love is moved by the Spirit of God; an atheist who lives by love is saved by his faith in the God whose existence (under that name) he denies.

Sir William Temple

It was amazing that a play that seems dated in this world... A man whose best friend is a six-foot white rabbit... But it caught on, especially with young people - they surprised me most of all.

James Stewart

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

JeanPaul Sartre

Do not dare not to dare.

C.S. Lewis
