Cassandra Clare

When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth.

Samuel Butler

Proving I'm a good mother is the one achievement I'm most proud of. It's brought out the best in me.

Sheena Easton
