I wanted my children to have the same exposure to the water I had. My strongest memories of Northeast Harbor are going in a small Whaler with my dad, looking for osprey.

To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.

Hermann Hesse

No one's played on the moon yet. No one's played in zero gravity. Some bands have played at the Pyramids of Giza, but we'd very much like to do that in the near future.

Brandon Boyd

I have, in some ways, saved characters that have been marginalized by society by playing them - and having them still have dignity and still survive, still get through it.

Jodie Foster

Design must reflect the practical and aesthetic in business but above all... good design must primarily serve people.

Santosh Kalwar

Called a blind date to set up a meeting at a restaurant. Isaid, I'll be the one in the leather jacket. She said, I'llbe the one drinking sake. Turned out it was one of thosebiker sushi places. We never met.

Steven Wright

I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.

O. Henry

She died on a windy gray day in March when the sky was full of darting crows and the world lay prostrate and defeated after winter. Peter Lake was at her side and it ruined him forever. It broke him as he had not ever imagined he could have been broken. He would never again be young, or able to remember what it was like to be young. What he had once taken to be pleasures would appear to him in his defeat as hideous and deserved punishments for reckless vanity.

Mark Helprin

Happiness has many roots, but none more important than security.
