Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.

Our first and last love is... self-love.

Christian Nevell Bovee

To me, as long as we've known each other, I've always thought Mick's most brilliant thing was that he could work in an area two foot square and give a very exciting performance.

Keith Richards

On the philosophical level, both Buddhism and modern science share a deep suspicion of any notion of absolutes, whether conceptualize as a transcendent being, as an eternal, unchanging principle such as soul, or as a fundamental substratum of reality. ... In the Buddhist investigation of reality, at least in principle, empirical evidence should triumph over scriptural authority, no matter how deeply venerated a scripture may be. ~ 14th Dalai Lama in his talk to the Society for Neuroscience in 2005 in Washington.

Dalai Lama XIV

Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.

Harry S Truman

Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same House of Being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Man is jealous because of his amour propre woman is jealous because of her lack of it.

Germaine Greer

John F. Kennedy

The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray's Anatomy.

J. G. Ballard

For me, first, it's finding quiet in my life - and I do that through yoga and meditation. It's also been a matter of changing the way I eat, because I think what we eat can inform who we are food is a chemical and a drug to a certain extent.

Mariel Hemingway

I have always been a business person.

Bethenny Frankel

I was a drama major also so it's cool to cuss for meaning, but for no apparent reason, no.
