True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

Knowing is not simply a material act, since the object that is known always conceals something beyond the empirical datum. All our knowledge, even the most simple, is always a minor miracle, since it can never be fully explained by the material instruments that we apply to it. In every truth there is something more than we would have expected, in the love that we receive there is always an element that surprises us.

Pope Benedict XVI

I'm the Latin artist who has been the most successful in history at representing the Latin culture. The stylings of my words are immodest, but it's the truth.

Julio Iglesias

From the cradle to the grave, joy and pain is the fertilizer for wisdom.

T.F. Hodge

It was said that life was cheap in Ankh-Morpork. This was of course, completely wrong. Life was often very expensive; you could get death for free.

Terry Pratchett

It's a lie to think you're not good enough. It's a lie to think you're not worth anything.

Nick Vujicic

My favourite thing to wear is a saree.

Amy Jackson

I don't care what people think of me. I don't even care what happens to me.

Lil Peep

As soon as I did my first five minutes of stand-up I knew that I would rather be a failure at comedy than a success in marketing.

Jimmy Carr

My mother killed herself when I was 12. I won't complete that relationship. But I can try to understand her.

Jane Fonda

Writers are always selling somebody out.

Joan Didion

Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.

Samuel Pepys

Oh, great reviews are the worst. They mislead you more than the bad ones, because they only fuel your ego. Then you only want another one, like potato chips or something, and the best thing you get is fat and bloated. I'd rather just refuse, thanks.
