I thought about how love was always the thing that did that - smashed into you, left you raw. The deeper you loved, the deeper it hurt.

I was already set for life when I met her.

David Gest

Laughter and irony are at heart reminders that we are not prisoners in this world, but voyagers through it.

Eben Alexander

I find that you learn from others. It's very much about watching TV and watching movies for me and grasping that way and watching other people act.

Callan McAuliffe

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Khalil Gibran

All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.

Alice Walker

The nearer society approaches to divine order, the less separation will there be in the characters, duties, and pursuits of men and women. Women will not become less gentle and graceful, but men will become more so. Women will not neglect the care and education of their children, but men will find themselves ennobled and refined by sharing those duties with them; and will receive, in return, co-operation and sympathy in the discharge of various other duties, now deemed inappropriate to women. The more women become rational companions, partners in business and in thought, as well as in affection and amusement, the more highly will men appreciate home.

Lydia Maria Child

The moon is not shamed by the barking of dogs.

American Indian Proverb, Southwe

This is a world of compensation; and he who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.

Abraham Lincoln

Close scrutiny will show that most crisis situations are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are.

Maxwell Maltz

I believe there is a relationship between having an interest in the arts and the behaviour of society as a whole. Some politicians find it difficult that the arts is a weapon of happiness... Politics is often about deprivation rather than the opening up of ideas and nourishing creative endeavour.

Richard Eyre

Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.

Bertrand Russell

As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom.

Pythagoras
