We've danced in the risk of each other. Would you like to dance around the world with me?

True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.

Paul Sweeney

It had never occurred to him that he should live in any other than what he would have called an ordinary way, with green glasses for hock, and excellent waiting at table. In warming himself at French social theories he had brought away no smell of scorching. We may handle even extreme opinions with impunity while our furniture, our dinner-giving, and preference for armorial bearings in our own ease, link us indissolubly with the established order.

George Eliot

Robert Caro

Hugh Leonard

Garry Shandling

No man is esteemed for colorful garments except by fools and women.

Sir Walter Raleigh

Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.

W. Somerset Maugham

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

Washington Irving

A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus.

E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White

Give thanks for what you are today and go on fighting for what you gone be tomorrow

William Shakespeare

I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.

Daniel DayLewis
