I will remember always that marriage, like life, is a journey - not a destination - and that its treasures are found not just at the end but all along the way.

Faith is important to me.

Vera Farmiga

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.

Bill Gates

In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in French I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their language.

Mark Twain

I can't deliver lines, but I can talk about food all night long.

Tom Colicchio

Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.

Thomas Mann

Who can explain the secret pathos of Nature's loveliness? It is a touch of melancholy inherited from our mother Eve. It is an unconscious memory of the lost Paradise. It is the sense that even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever.

Henry Van Dyke

It's not about going around trying to stir up trouble. As long as you're honest and you articulate what you believe to be true, somebody somewhere will become your enemy whether you like it or not.

Criss Jami

Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.

J. G. Ballard

In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind; it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are; its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.

Jodi Picoult

And last are the few whose delight is in meditation and understanding; who yearn not for goods, nor for victory, but for knowledge; who leave both market and battlefield to lose themselves in the quiet clarity of secluded thought; whose will is a light rather than a fire, whose haven is not power but truth: these are the men of wisdom, who stand aside unused by the world.

Will Durant

Where people are really attached, poverty itself is wealth.

Jane Austen

I love her bare legs from a distance. When she's standing by a pool. When she's facing the water, thinking. Her legs are white as watermelon rind, veined blue from cold. There's that 'H' shape behind her knees. The H trembles softly with the swimming-water cold.
