If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you'll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you'll get to where you want to be.

The constitutions of Maryland and New York are founded in higher wisdom.

Ezra Stiles

Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means... airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash.

Cecil Beaton

John Grisham

Marianne Williamson

Abba Eban

the mystic must be steadily told, All that you say is just as true without the tedious use of that symbol as with it. Let us have a little algebra, instead of this trite rhetoric, universal signs, instead of these village symbols, and we shall both be gainers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I grew up in a very toxic home.

Bethenny Frankel

I try to live life so that I can live with myself.

John Green
