Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.

When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.

L.M. Montgomery

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

John F. Kennedy

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

Ultimately, if you can say that I'm a bad owner and we're winning championships, I can live with that. But if we're not making the playoffs and we're spending and losing money, then I have to look in the mirror and say maybe I'm not taking the necessary steps to doing what it takes to run an organization.

Michael Jordan

Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a certain potency of life in them, to be as active as the soul whose progeny they are; they preserve, as in a vial, the purest efficacy and extraction of the living intellect that bred them.

John Milton

Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.

Don Marquis

I'm having a great time. I get to travel and see the world. And yeah, I'll have a family, because I don't want to miss out on that amazing experience, but it's not defining who I am.

Krysten Ritter

Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either.

Alexander Smith

I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.

E. M. Forster

In order to change the nature of things, either within yourself or in others, one should change, not the events, but those thoughts which created whose events.

Leo Tolstoy

Trust me, sunscreen is so, so, so important and so I always wear sunscreen, but I still get really tan.

Lea Michele

I keep asking myself these three questions ... What do you have? What do you want? What will you give up?
