Truth lies within ourselves: it takes no rise from outward things, whatever you may believe. There is an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness and to Know rather consists in opening out a way whence the imprisoned splendor may escape than in effecting entry for light supposed to be without.

Travel is ninety percent anticipation and ten percent recollection.

Edward Streeter

Music, when soft voices die Vibrates in the memory.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

If I could make a dream real, I would not kill anything unless it could never be changed at heart.

Robert Fanney

Poetry is the language of feeling.

W. Winter

Your rat tail is all the fashion now. I prefer a bushy plume, carried straight up. You are Siamese and your ancestors lived in trees. Mine lived in palaces. It has been suggested to me that I am a bit of a snob. How true! I prefer to be.

Raymond Chandler

Living here on Earth, we breathe the rhythms of a universe that extends infinitely above us. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos, poetry is born.

Daisaku Ikeda

Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.

Henry Ford

Courage to continue comes from deeper sources than outward results.

Kenneth L. Pike

The game in beauty is changing so much, if your product isn't high tech or can't make a unique performance claim - plump your lips, reduce your lines, look glossy, and stay on for 24 hours - you can't go to market today. I'm not just talking about a $20 lipstick, but a $5 lipstick!

Andrea Jung

I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.

Oscar Wilde

It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, Know thyself, and too often leads to a self-estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.

George Eliot

Every clarification breeds new questions.

Arthur Bloch
