I have a woman's instinct and it's always a good one.

One gains universal applause who mingles the useful with the agreeable, at once delighting and instructing the reader.

Horace

God not only loves the obedient - He enlightens them.

Henry B. Eyring

I used to take myself very seriously, now it's all just funny. You gotta laugh at yourself. You know, most of the time when something's a big deal for us, it's only become a big deal in the space between our ears.

Gillian Anderson

Remember to be as smart as you are.

Judd Nelson

I don't think anything changes until ideas change. The usual American viewpoint is to believe that something is wrong with the person.

James Hillman

A modern man has nothing to add to modernism, if only because he has nothing to oppose it with. The well-adapted drop off the dead limb of time like lice.

Elias Canetti

There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Poetry uses the hub of a torque converter for a jello mold.

Diane Glancy

Vimes took the view that life was so full of things happening erratically in all directions that the chances of any of them making some kind of relevant sense were remote in the extreme. Colon, being by nature more optimistic and by intellect a good deal slower, was still at the Clues are Important stage.

Terry Pratchett

The clan is nothing more than a larger family, with its patriarchal chief as the natural head, and the union of several clans by intermarriage and voluntary connection constitutes the tribe.

Charles Eastman

We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall -- which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.

Thomas Carlyle

Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible; but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity.

Bertrand Russell
