It was stumbling on to really the bible of the blues, you know, and a very powerful drug to be introduced to us and I absorbed it totally, and it changed my complete outlook on music.

O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.

Christopher Marlowe

I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.

Sting

The first reaction to truth is hatred.

Tertullian

None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.

Pearl Buck

The Pumpkins love rock-and-roll, we absolutely love it, but we also think it's a flatulent, ego-serving kiddie playground. You can have your cake and eat it too.

Billy Corgan

Participate in your own dreams, don't just say what you want or complain about what you don't have.

Steve Maraboli

General benevolence, but not general friendship, made a man what he ought to be.

Jane Austen

Success doesn't mean that you are healthy, success doesn't mean that you're happy, success doesn't mean that you're rested. Success really doesn't mean that you look good, or feel good, or are good.

Victoria Principal

The foolish and the uneducated have little use for freedom.

Source Unknown

You may not accomplish every goal you set -- no one does -- but what really matters is having goals and going after them wholeheartedly.

Les Brown

I think imagination is at the heart of everything we do. Scientific discoveries couldn't have happened without imagination. Art, music, and literature couldn't exist without imagination. And so anything that strengthens imagination, and reading certainly does that, can help us for the rest of our lives.

Lloyd Alexander

Love, too, has to be learned.

Friedrich Nietzsche
