The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is.

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.

Francis Bacon

The last Christian died on the cross

Friedrich Nietzsche

We are hoarding potentials so great that they are just about unimaginable.

Jack Schwartz

He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.

Thomas Carlyle

There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear.

Daniel C. Dennett

What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?

William Shakespeare

Good writing is remembering detail. Most people want to forget. Don't forget things that were painful or embarrassing or silly. Turn them into a story that tells the truth.

Paula Danziger

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.

Tecumseh

After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is. Though feminists have been arguing for years that there is a self-defining female energy, and a female libido that is not expressed merely in response to demands by the male, and a female way of being and of experiencing the world, we are still not close to understanding what it might be. Yet every mother who has held a girl child in her arms has known that she was different from a boy child and that she would approach the reality around her in a different way. She is a female and she will die female, and though many centuries should pass, archaeologists would identify her skeleton as the remains of a female creature.

Germaine Greer

Politics makes strange bed-fellows.

Charles Dudley Warner

Your own dreams stand alone, longing to be fulfilled, and you wonder if it will ever happen. You must have faith. Just as the bus was a little late, so too can fulfilment of your desires come a bit late.

Stephen Richards

I had my footballing heroes such as Bryan Robson and Diego Maradona but my dad was a rugby league star, and he was my real hero. But the relationship with my mum was rocky and we saw things that would affect any youngster.
