Time, which strengthens friendship, weakens love.

Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major --perhaps the major --stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.

Jean Francois Lyotard

I like to do something I fear.

Heath Ledger

It is a happy thing that there is no royal road to poetry. The world should know by this time that one cannot reach Parnassus except by flying thither.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

There can be a fundamental gulf of gracelessness in a human heart which neither our love nor our courage can bridge.

Patrick Campbell

He is no longer a city dweller who has even once in his life caught a ruff or seen how, on clear and cool autumn days, flocks of migrating thrushes drift over a village. Until his death he will be drawn to freedom.

Anton Chekhov

The most important training, though, is to experience life as a writer, questioning everything, inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that, all the other things will come if you don't, there's no hope for you.

Orson Scott Card

He that lacks the time to mourn, lacks time to mend.

My mom was a single mom, and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to, and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

Jason Aldean

I just stopped playing bitches on wheels and peoples' mothers. I have only a few more years to kick up my heels!

Angela Lansbury

Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed.

Terry Goodkind

Faith is believing what you know ain't so.

Mark Twain

To the dull mind all nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world sparkles with light.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
