For us lads of eighteen they ought to have been mediators and guides to the world of maturity, the world of work, of duty, of culture, of progress -- to the future.

When it comes to relationships; sometimes you get it right, and sometimes it gets you right.

R.L. Byrd

The effect of having other interests beyond those domestic works well. The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Amelia Earhart

I want kids of this generation to see that everything is cool, that there's some kind of unity in hip-hop. We all found something that's really important to us, and music is all we've really got.

Missy Elliot

The beautiful exists just as little as the true. In every case it is a question of the conditions of preservation of a certain type of man: thus the herd-man will experience the value feeling of the true in different things than will the overman.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

George Bernard Shaw

Institutions should be obliged to make public how they vote at such events. They should be obliged to provide customers with a record of how they vote on every kind of issue.

Patrick Donovan

Jonny Lang

I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.

Dita Von Teese

Unless you accept these without question as being to the world of action what axioms are to the world of theory, you can have no practical principles whatsoever. You cannot reach them as conclusions: they are premises. (...) If nothing is self-evident, nothing can be proved. Similarly, if nothing is obligatory for its own sake, nothing is obligatory at all.

C.S. Lewis

Make no mistake, adolescence is a war. No one gets out unscathed.

Harlan Coben

Success, for me, is being able to provide information that will help to change someone's life positively.

Darren L Johnson

Or -- and this she knew was a far more accurate way of looking at it -- the book was true and reality was lying.

Terry Pratchett
