The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.

Not a single one of the cells that compose you knows who you are, or cares.

Daniel C. Dennett

The real truthfulness of all works of imagination, sculpture, painting, and written fiction, is so purely in the imagination, that the artist never seeks to represent positive truth, but the idealized image of a truth

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.

Willa Cather

There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart - never to believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it to be true never to tell even that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary, and that God is listening.

Henry Van Dyke

The one sure way to conciliate a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured.

Konrad Adenauer

one does not only wish to be understood when one writes; one wishes just as surely not to be understood.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I feel like people start to believe things that people say about them and start to think they're really important. If you have a family that is down to earth and cool, I don't see how you can be like that.

Amanda Bynes

A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.

Thomas Carlyle

What great things would you attempt if you knew you could not fail.

Robert H. Schuller

Life is a dream a little less inconstant.

Blaise Pascal

One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak in public. He will be stranger to him as he is more familiar to the audience. The longest intimacy could not foretell how he would behave then.

Henry David Thoreau

No person who is enthusiastic about his work has anything to fear from life.

Samuel Goldwyn
