Understand clearly that when a great need appears a great use appears also; when there is small need there is small use; it is obvious, then, that full use is made of all things at all times according to the necessity thereof.

If he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

Eddie Vedder

This is a matter of public health. The public was sick and tired of DeLay and his corruption.

Jim Hightower

I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.

Edward Snowden

You don't get it, Clary. You don't understand what it's like to live always at war, to grow up with battle and sacrifice. I guess it's not your fault. It's just how you were brought up-

Cassandra Clare

Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.

Robert Collier

For 13 to be unlucky would require there to be some kind of cosmic intelligence that counts things that humans count and that also makes certain things happen on certain dates or in certain places according to whether the number 13 'is involved' or not (whatever 'is involved' might mean).

Douglas Hofstadter

Do all things with love.

Og Mandino

There has been a change in men's attitudes toward their clothes. Men are more aware of fashion they're not afraid of it.

Calvin Klein

It's not that I want to work for Williams-Sonoma, , it's just that you guys have the money and I don't.

Another piece of advice: when you proofread cross out as many adjectives and adverbs as you can. You have so many modifiers that the reader has trouble understanding and gets worn out. It is comprehensible when I write: The man sat on the grass, because it is clear and does not detain one's attention. On the other hand, it is difficult to figure out and hard on the brain if I write: The tall, narrow-chested man of medium height and with a red beard sat down on the green grass that had already been trampled down by the pedestrians, sat down silently, looking around timidly and fearfully. The brain can't grasp all that at once, and art must be grasped at once, instantaneously. And then one other thing; you are lyrical by nature. The timber of your soul is soft. If you were a composer you would avoid writing marches. It is unnatural for your talent to curse, shout, taunt, denounce with rage. Therefore, you'll understand if I advise you, in proofreading, to eliminate the sons of bitches, curs, and flea-bitten mutts that appear here and there on the pages of Life.

Anton Chekhov, To Maxim Gorky, S

No one can feel as helpless as the owner of a sick goldfish.

Kin Hubbard

As I squatted on the grass at the edge of the woods, the pee felt hot between my legs. I watched in puddle in the dirt, the smell of it rising into the night. There was no difference between my piss and June's. That's what i thought when I looked at the dark circle on the ground. Piss is Piss.
