I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.

It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.

Miguel de Unamuno

E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White, Some

The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement -- but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.

Joseph Conrad

The one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is, 'I made my parents proud.'

Roger Goodell

The worst men often give the best advice.

Francis Bacon

A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.

Vladimir Nabokov

Mark Twain

I'm not confused, I'm just well mixed.

To enjoy a good reputation give publicly, and steal privately.

Josh Billings

A slight sound at evening lifts me up by the ears, and makes life seem inexpressibly serene and grand. It may be Uranus, or it may be in the shutter.

Henry David Thoreau
