There's a great and unutterable beauty in all this.

High hopes were once formed of democracy; but democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.

Oscar Wilde

These are not dark days: these are great days -- the greatest days our country has ever lived.

Frank Ocean

Dave Barry

Fiona Shaw

Cares that have entered once in the breast, will have whole possession of the rest.

Ben Johnson

As we free our breath (through diaphragmatic breathing) we relax our emotions and let go our body tensions.

Gay Hendricks

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense.

Ray Bradbury

I glanced again. He was still watching me.Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy... well.

John Green

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Neil Gaiman

If women were as good as men they'd be a lot better!

Terry Pratchett
