In my twenties, my pleasures tended to be physical. In my thirties, my pleasures tended to be intellectual. I can't say which was more exquisite.

Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

Henry David Thoreau

Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life.

Sanskrit Poem

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry some days. But I really have worked hard to put a lot of the anger and disappointment in the past.

Monica Lewinsky

When I write to please everybody, it falls flat. When I write what I know, fearlessly, It won't please everybody, but it doesn't fall flat.

Ronald P. Chavez

Well, I think that as a country, we've drifted away from appreciating the importance of imagination.

Terry Brooks

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances. If there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Carl Gustav Jung

I find it amusing on one level, poignant on another, when people try to get recognition from an outside source. It's sad.

Grace Slick

As we turn through the pages of the press and the periodicals, as we catch the flash of billboards along the railroads and the highways, all of which have become enormous vehicles of the advertising art, I doubt if we realize at all the impressive part that these displays are coming more and more to play in modern life... We see that basically it is that of education...It makes new thoughts, new desires, new actions...Rightfully applied, it is the method by which desire is created for better things. Desire, in turn, is the crucial element separating the civilized from the uncivilized. The uncivilized make little progress because they have few desires. The inhabitants of our country are stimulated to new wants in all directions. In order to satisfy their constantly increasing desires, they necessarily expand their productive powers. They create more wealth because it is only by that method that they can satisfy their wants. It is this constantly enlarging circle that represents the increasing circle of civilization.

Calvin Coolidge, quoted in Frank

I sometimes skip meals when I travel.

Amy Smart

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

Viktor E. Frankl

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

John Green

How many people live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made!

Oliver Wendell Holmes
