One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Beauty is something that burns the hand when you touch it.

Yukio Mishima

Aeschylus

There is no sickness worse for me than words that to be kind must lie.

Aeschylus

If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.

Les Brown

To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.

Albert Camus

A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is.

Jack Miner

Bruce Jenner

I put myself on the line with my truth and my sexuality. That is my choice. My choice.

Anne Heche

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.
