Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.

The beauty of the human mind is that any decision that is made can be unmade.

Gay Hendricks

A writer is unfair to himself when he is unable to be hard on himself.

Marianne Moore

No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.

George Orwell

Appropriation is the idea that ate the art world. Go to any Chelsea gallery or international biennial and you'll find it. It's there in paintings of photographs, photographs of advertising, sculpture with ready-made objects, videos using already-existing film.

Jerry Saltz

He is actually very lovely in real life. We share the same interests, and he shares my love for animals as well.

Leona Lewis

Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night's date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn't think of looking at another woman.

Marilyn Monroe

My younger sister had kids before I did, and managed to earn a master's degree while raising them as a single parent. Now she's a brilliant second-grade teacher. I'm in awe of her ability to juggle everything and still be a great mother.

Idina Menzel

Most virtue is a demand for greater seduction.

Natalie Clifford Barney

No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the keys.

Doug Horton

Before 'Twilight,' occasionally I would get the 'Hey are you that girl from that movie?' but no one knew my first and last name. The fans of the saga are amazing, and it's very flattering.

Nikki Reed

The mystical bond of brotherhood makes all men brothers

Thomas Carlyle

A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson.
