Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.

As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature's holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as (the) brightness of a jewel, held in the sun's beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun'

Jonathan Edwards

Gloria Steinem

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts bring sad thoughts to the mind.

William Wordsworth

They put chains on me they chained my waist, my legs. Put me in the back of a squad car, and I literally blacked out. I didn't even - there's whole pieces missing.

Jim Bakker

It is the privilege of genius that life never grows common place, as it does for the rest of us.

James Russell Lowell
