Time on its back bears all things far away - Full many a challenge is wrought by many a day - Shape, fortune, name, and nature all decay

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I don't have a lot of skills, but one thing I can do is, I can compartmentalize. I can make that a little world that I can go back to, so I can be a waitress, or I can be a teacher, and then go and work on my book.

Dana Spiotta

The fog is rising.

Emily Dickinson

The gallantry of his grief did put me into a towering passion.

William Shakespeare

To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there's a mix of excitement and fear. If it's a wet track, then it's worse as you're not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most.

Jenson Button

If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.

Bob Marley

Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.

Terry Pratchett

Modern cosmetic surgeons have a direct financial interest in a social role for women that requires them to feel ugly. They do not simply advertise for a share of a market that already exists: Their advertisements create new markets. It is a boom industry because it is influentially placed to create its own demand through the pairing of text with ads in women's magazines. The industry takes out ads and gets coverage; women get cut open. They pay their money and they takes their chances. As surgeons grow richer, they are able to command larger and brighter ad spaces.

Naomi Wolf

I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet.

Sarah Jessica Parker

My worst fear is that I'll end up living in some run-down duplex on Wilshire wearing pants hiked up to my nipples and muttering under my breath.

Richard Dreyfuss

Our whole life is startlingly moral. There is never an instant's truce between virtue and vice.

Henry David Thoreau

Remorse is impotence, it will sin again. Only repentance is strong, it can end everything.

Henry Miller
