I think the advent of the Internet gave us all a big boost, because by the time the Internet became mainstream and you could get it in your home, a lot of us were used to dealing in fan culture, writing to magazines or anything at the back of comic books.

But if you want to know the truth, the weirdest thing that has happened has been my discovery that people who attend the conventions are filled with love.

William Shatner

It is dangerous for a woman to defy the gods; To taunt them with the tongue's thin tip,Or strut in the weakness of mere humanity,Or draw a line daring them to cross.

Anne Spencer, Letter to My Siste

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

William Ellery Channing

We sincerely hope that south Asian countries will respect and live in amity with each other, and achieve common development, and that south Asia will enjoy peace, stability and prosperity.

Li Peng

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

William Shakespeare

A competent portraitist knows how to imply the profile in the full face.

Aldous Huxley

God Almighty hates a quitter.

Samuel Fessenden

He had no cause for self-reproach on the score of neglect, or want of thought, for he had been devoted to her service; and yet a hundret little occasions rose up before him on which he fancied he might have been more zealous, and more earnest, and wished he had been. We need be careful how we deal with those about us; when every death carries to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted, and so little done; of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired. There is no remorse so deep, as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its tortures, let us remember this, in time.

Charles Dickens

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd preferred to talk.

Doug Larson

Parrots, tortoises and redwoods live a longer life than men do; Men a longer life than dogs do; Dogs a longer life than love does.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Then there was your voiceLike a windup tin toyLike the sweetest nails on a chalkboardThat I ever heard

Michelle Dalton

I was not judged or condemned by God, because Jesus was judged and condemned in my place. So I will not judge or condemn anyone else. Let truth do whatever it does, but Christians must remember, condemnation is what we are delivered from as believers.
