I think retirement's for old people. I'm still in the business, thank you. I have a young child of nine years old, and I want to live as long as I can to see him grow up. I'm enjoying my life and I want to stick around for as long as I can.

Hope springs forever.

J.K. Rowling

O curse of marriage that we can call these delicate creatures ours and not their appetites!

William Shakespeare

Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.

Lev Grossman

Courtesy Life be not so short but that there is always time for courtesy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them. For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information, or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise.

Benjamin Franklin

I like business and personal life to be distinct.

Carter Burwell

If I loved someone, I could never let him go away from me. I would be too miserable and lonely.

Valerie Tripp

A sum can be put right: but only by going back till you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on.

C.S. Lewis

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

Abraham Cahan

My feelings for you...are like the stillness of the sand...they make no sound...as they're washed away.

Banri Hidaka

I'm fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I'd like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don't like being alone because they truly don't like themselves, but I love me.

Gene Simmons

There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star.
