The truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind.

Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.

Virginia Woolf

The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks he's set for life. I didn't think I was set for life, and I don't now. As athletes, we are important, celebrities, in demand and rich. Then we are out of the game and we are not important, not celebrities, not in demand and not rich.

Fran Tarkenton

I like structure - like driving: go past the school on the street, stay on the right side, no hitting the car, go in right, you'll see a big church, stop and take a left, and you'll have it. By doing this I'm giving a structure of life, a path of light, and showing what happens between me and me, which is something very beautiful.

Jean Claude Van Damme

Friends, I agree with you in Providence; but I believe in the Providence of the most men, the largest purse, and the longest cannon.

Abraham Lincoln

Sex is God's joke on human beings.

Bette Davis

Truth uttered before its time is dangerous.

Mencius (Mengzi Mengtse)

I grew up in a really small town with not a lot of money, and I liked singing, but it was just something that was a hobby.

Justin Bieber

If fear is the great enemy of intimacy, love is its true friend.

Henri Nouwen

Why is it that words like these seem dull and cold? Is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name?

James Joyce

Writing a story or a novel is one way of discovering sequence in experience, of stumbling upon cause and effect in the happenings of a writer's own life.

Eudora Welty

Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation,' and they each think the show is for them, which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.

Amy Poehler

How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, His precepts!

Benjamin Franklin
