What's in a name?

Music is supposed to wash away the dust of everyday life.

Art Blakey

Praise those of your critics for whom nothing is up to standard.

Dag Hammarskjold

I love music, and outside of work my family keeps me very busy, I have five children to keep track of.

Alberto Juantorena

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

Edgar Allan Poe

For all their current prestige, Osama bin Laden and the suicide bombers are still regarded in all but the most desperate districts of Gaza or Peshawar as romantics with little chance of more than symbolic victories, however bloody and brutal. That gives both the Middle East and the West a small and distant hope of security.

James Buchan

We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.

Winston Churchill

[Mrs. Allen was] never satisfied with the day unless she spent the chief of it by the side of Mrs. Thorpe, in what they called conversation, but in which there was scarcely ever any exchange of opinion, and not often any resemblance of subject, for Mrs. Thorpe talked chiefly of her children, and Mrs. Allen of her gowns.

Jane Austen

There is no original truth, only original error.

Gaston Bachelard

Beware of the man who does not return your blow: he neither forgives you nor allows you to forgive yourself.

George Bernard Shaw

In the plays - that's where I go crazy. But my prose has a much lighter touch; it's not trying to thrill with language, just to be more truthful. I'm not concerned with the accuracy of anything. We don't get to the truth of anything with facts.

Denis Johnson

Memories do one no good, not when one knew the truth in the present.

Cassandra Clare

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.

William Shakespeare
