It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

Truth is I don't think God on a daily basis. I think politics, science.

Peter Mullan

For there are two kinds of forgiveness in the world: the one you practice because everything really is all right, and what went before is mended. The other kind of forgiveness you practice because someone needs desperately to be forgiven, or because you need just as badly to forgive them, for a heart can grab hold of old wounds and go sour as milk over them.

Catherynne M. Valente

To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.

Joan Didion

You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.

Chris Daughtry

When two friends have a common bank account, one sings and the other weeps.

Proverb

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Baltasar Gracian

I don't view it as mystic. I believe that God is our father. He created us. He is powerful because he knows everything. Therefore everything I learn that is true makes me more like my father in heaven. When science seems to contradict religion, then one, the other, or both are wrong, or incomplete. Truth is not incompatible with itself. When I benefit from science it's actually not correct for me to say it resulted from science and not from God. They work in concert.

Clayton M. Christensen

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.

Viktor E. Frankl

Ladies, if you want to know the way to my heart... good spelling and good grammar, good punctuation, capitalize only where you are supposed to capitalize, it's done.

John Mayer

Creative thinking inspires ideas. Ideas inspire change.

Barbara Januszkiewicz

My soul knows my meat is doing bad things, and is embarrassed. But my meat just keeps right on doing bad, dumb things.

Kurt Vonnegut

First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.

Virginia Woolf
