All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think.

C.S. Lewis

Since I've been in the U.S. I've lost the back of my heart, 15 ft. of intestine and my marriage - and God, I miss my intestine.

Nigel Lythgoe

Music rhythms are mathematical patterns. When you hear a song and your body starts moving with it, your body is doing math. The kids in their parents' garage practicing to be a band may not realize it, but they're also practicing math.

I've never heard of anybody getting rid of their prized Exile postcards, much less actually writing on them and sending them through the mail to a girl. I watched these two, laughing over this story at the same kitchen table they've shared for thirty years.

Mark Twain

First love is first love, first marriage is first marriage, disappointment is disappointment.

Maximilian Schell

But I don't think that poetry is a good, to use a contemporary word, venue, for current events.

I have seen gleams in the face and eyes of the man that have let you look into a higher country.

Thomas Carlyle

...for until that God who rules all the region of the sky...has freed you from the fetters of your body, you cannot gain admission here. Men were created with the understanding that they were to look after that sphere called Earth, which you see in the middle of the temple. Minds have been given to them out of the eternal fires you call fixed stars and planets, those spherical solids which, quickened with divine minds, journey through their circuits and orbits with amazing speed...

Marcus Tullius Cicero, Scipios D

We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.

Kahlil Gibran
