Tell your story. Don't try and tell the stories that other people can tell. Any starting writer starts out with other people's voices. But as quickly as you can start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there will always be better writers than you and there will always be smarter writers than you, but you are the only you.

Capitalism is an art form, an Apollonian fabrication to rival nature. It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it. Everyone born into capitalism has incurred a debt to it. Give Caesar his due.

Camille Anna Paglia

The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.

Aldous Huxley

I want to live as private a life as I can because of our children.

Melinda Gates

I always thought of losing my virginity as a career move.

Madonna

We don't want to feel helpless, so we use fear, anger, addiction, or unbridled sexuality to block out our helpless feelings. The fact is that if we cannot openly face our feeling of helplessness, we cannot receive help. It is important that we accept our helplessness, taking it to God and allowing Him to be strong where we are weak. When we let Him be God, we receive continuous healing for our woundedness. But when we hide our pain, helplessness, and insecurity, we find ourselves at the mercy of our narcissistic, wounded false self with its insatiable craving for validation and anesthesia.

David F. Allen, Shattering the G

I, for one, hope that youth will again revolt and again demoralize the dead weight of conformity that now lies upon us.

Howard Mumford Jones

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around -- the music and the ideas.

Bob Dylan

I weigh the man, not his title; 'tis not the king's stamp can make the metal better.

William Wycherley

Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

One good husband is worth two good wives, for the scarcer things are, the more they are valued.

Benjamin Franklin

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

William Shakespeare, "Hamlet"

Moving on, starting to change perceptions and way of living after living problems is a sign of maturity, because that person understands the situation he or she is facing.
