And who is any of us, that without starvation he can go through the kingdoms of starvation?

I love to lose myself in other men's minds. When I am not walking, I am reading. I cannot sit and think; books think for me.

Charles Lamb

Home is where my mom is.

Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you?

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing is more repugnant to me than brotherly feelings grounded in the common baseness people see in one another.

Milan Kundera

We are as near to heaven by sea as by land.

Sir Humphrey Gilbert

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

James Baldwin

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

Mahatma Gandhi

I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.

Ari Graynor

The thrill of falling in love is often the thrill of being loved; the thrill of marriage is the thrill of loving someone for the rest of your life. Each day - and year - that passes is a triumph of this act of loving.

Susan Waggoner

When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!

William Blake

Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.
