Women are clear-headed, they are more creative and for this reason, sometimes, also more fragile.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

William James

Whenever you analyse anyone who has had any success and they're in the headlines, you will find they are human and make mistakes. I'm certainly that and I've made a lot of mistakes.

Jeffrey Archer

Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.

Wayne Dyer

Our love is an old love, baby. It's older than all our years. I have seen in strange young eyes Familiar tears.

Paul Williams (songwriter)

If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.

Manuel Puig

As a novelist, I tell stories and people give me money. Then financial planners tell me stories and I give them money.

Martin Cruz Smith

We know enough at this moment to say that the God of Abraham is not only unworthy of the immensity of creation; he is unworthy even of man.

Sam Harris

Realists do not fear the results of their study.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Our time was most delightfully spent, in mutual Protestations of Freindship, and in vows of unalterable Love, in which we were secure from being interrupted, by intruding and disagreeable Visistors, as Augustus and Sophia had on their first Entrance in the Neighbourhood, taken due care to inform the surrounding Families, that as their happiness centered wholly in themselves, they wished for no other society.

Jane Austen

You know what charm is a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.

Albert Camus

Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticizing. Criticism can never be a science: it is, in the first place, much too personal, and in the second, it is concerned with values that science ignores. The touchstone is emotion, not reason. We judge a work of art by its effect on our sincere and vital emotion, and nothing else. All the critical twiddle-twaddle about style and form, all this pseudoscientific classifying and analyzing of books in an imitation-botanical fashion, is mere impertinence and mostly dull jargon.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.

Catherine the Great
