Evelyn Glennie

I'd give my life to be the national team coach.

Diego Maradona

Love is blind friendship closes its eyes.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does. To think of it as apart from society is a palpable absurdity of which no one could be guilty who really saw it as a fact of life.

Charles Horton Cooley

Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease.

R. Buckminster Fuller

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks.

Charles Dickens

The depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship. It exceeds concern for life itself. The love of a parent for a child is continuous and transcends heartbreak and disappointment.

James E. Faust

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

Annie Leibovitz

Oscar Wilde

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

Plato

Your days are short here this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came.

Adlai E. Stevenson

The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.

James Arthur Baldwin
