Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.

So fleet the works of men, back to their earth again;Ancient and holy things fade like a dream.

Charles Kingsley

What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind? They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I've always had an active imagination.

Rickie Lee Jones

Right now, I had everything I could ask for. It wasn't a long list, but it was a very satisfying one, starting with the love of my life back in my arms.

Becca Fitzpatrick

He didn't mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn't matter.

Margery Williams

I know, of course, how important it is not to keep a business engagement, if one wants to retain any sense of the beauty of life.

Oscar Wilde

Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.

Carrie P. Snow

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Salman Rushdie

Yet Byron never made tea as you do, who fill the pot so that when you put the lid on the tea spills over. There is a brown pool on the table--it is running among your books and papers. Now you mop it up, clumsily, with your pocket-hankerchief. You then stuff your hankerchief back into your pocket--that is not Byron; that is so essentially you that if I think of you in twenty years' time, when we are both famous, gouty and intolerable, it will be by that scene: and if you are dead, I shall weep.

Virginia Woolf

Every real thought on every real subject knocks the wind out of somebody or other.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I don't know Who -- or what -- put the question, I don't know when it was put. I don't even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone --or Something --and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal.
