Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

Abraham Maslow

In the room the women come and go talking of Michelangelo.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

The new man is born too old to tolerate the new world. The present conditions of life have not yet erased the traces of the past. We run too fast, but we still do not move enough. He looks but he does not contemplate, he sees but he does not think. He runs away from time, which is made of thought, and yet all he can feel is his own time, the present.

Eugenio Montale

Life is like a s--t sandwich. The more bread you eat, the less s--t you gotta take.

Peter Trudelle

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

Kahlil Gibran

Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.

William Howard Taft

Heraclitus

For it is in the millions of small melodies that the truth of history is always found, for history only matters because of the effects we see or imagine in the lives of the ordinary people who are caught up in, or give shape to, the great events.

Orson Scott Card

The United Sates has much to offer the third world war.

Ronald Reagan

Ladies and gentleman are permitted to have friends in the kennel, but not in the kitchen.

George Bernard Shaw

The breathing of the air, The song of the sweet nightingale, The grove and its beauty In the serene night, With the flame that consumes, and gives no pains. ~ 39

John of the Cross

It is those who have this imperative demand for the best in their natures, and who will accept nothing short of it, that holds the banners of progress, that set the standards, the ideals, for others.
