'Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem to be confidences or sides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profound thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart.

I'm not one of these guys who's constantly in a relationship, not at all.

Robert Pattinson

Blessed be God that Thou hast filled the soul of Thy servant with joy and peace in believing.

Christopher Love

I am told that the first comprehensible word I uttered as a child was 'home.'

Julie Andrews

Money, yes, it is the new religion. And the moguls of the Money Monarchy have become the priests and popes of this irrational age of corporate planetary domination and destruction. Yes, world bankers and trans-national corporate executives are the true religious leaders. Why? Because the highest, most esteemed calling is high finance. Whole nations are caught up in it. It has become the wishful will of the world and money, the worshipped god. The Wall Street Journal is the Bible, the bank is the cathedral and the people are the parish

I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.

Daniel Radcliffe

The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.

Frank Shorter

The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness...

Leo Tolstoy

Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form.

Robert Morgan

People became more interested in my love life than in me, and that has a certain effect. You start to feel very empty and worth nothing, you start to become a piece in a board game you never wanted to play.

Anna Friel

The reason the art world doesn't respond to Kinkade is because none - not one - of his ideas about subject-matter, surface, color, composition, touch, scale, form, or skill is remotely original. They're all cliche and already told.

Jerry Saltz

In a world that holds books and babies and canyon trails, why should one condemn oneself to live day-in, day-out with people one does not like, and sell oneself to chaperone and correct them?Journal entry, May 20, 1913 during her brief career as a boarding-school teacher
