Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.

Healing, Papa would tell me, is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature.

W. H. Auden

I knew my trainer believed in me and I couldn't let Him down.

This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.

Bob Dylan

The bottom line is, you love your wife, you do your best with that.

Sean Penn

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

John Rawls

Stand in Your Power: When a woman stands in her power and speaks her truth from the heart, it brings balance into the Universe and the opportunity to connect fully with Divine source

Teresa Proctor

Yes, she believed God loved her. But if this whole fiasco was His idea of love . . .

Lauraine Snelling

One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast withers as rapidly; and that which grows slow endures.

Josiah Gilbert Holland

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

Neil Gaiman

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.

James F. Byrnes

Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.

Niels Bohr

I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.

Steve Martin
