I think that Scottish people, like Canadians, are often misunderstood and what I like about my Scottish friends and relatives is how quickly it can go from love to anger. It's a great dynamic.

The Sun never sets. It is we who rise think to shine.

Earle Birney

The blaze of reputation cannot be blown out, but it often dies in the socket; a very few names may be considered as perpetual lamps that shine unconsumed.

Samuel Johnson

But Time, unfortunately, though it makes animals and vegetables bloom and fade with amazing punctuality, has no such simple effect upon the mind of man. The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time. An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented on the timepiece of the mind by one second.

Virginia Woolf

But as long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending. It has endless potential.

Sarah Dessen

Resolve and thou art free.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of the life of your cells. If the bloodstream is filled with waste products, the resulting environment does not promote a strong, vibrant, healthy cell life-nor a biochemistry capable of creating a balanced emotional life for an individual.

Anthony Robbins

In the spiritual life, as in all organic processes, everyone has their optimum and it is just as harmful to go beyond it as not to attain it.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them

Benjamin Ricketson Tucker

I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.

Jean Cocteau

I love men who make me laugh.

Nastassja Kinski

Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honor as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.

Thomas Hardy

Beauty is the greatest seducer of man

Paulo Coelho
