World peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it

It is wrong to be harsh with the New York critics, unless one admits in the same breath that it is a condition of their existence that they should write entertainingly about something which is rarely worth writing about at all.

Raymond Chandler

Death is a mystery, and burial is a secret.

Stephen King

We don't tend to write about disease in fiction - not just teen novels but all American novels - because it doesn't fit in with our idea of the heroic romantic epic. There is room only for sacrifice, heroism, war, politics and family struggle.

John Green

Love of country is like love of woman -- he loves her best who seeks to bestow on her the highest good.

Felix Adler

The mere abhorrence of vice is not a virtue at all.

Bergen Evans

Those who resolve to conquer or die, are rarely conquered.

Pierre Coneille

We should keep so close to facts that we never have to remember the second time what we said the first time.

F. Marion Smith

If love wants you; if you've been melted down to stars, you will love with lungs and gills; with feathers and scales; with warm blood and cold.

Anne Michaels

Nah, I've always had a great relationship with my two brothers, I have always had their support in my football and in everything. They've been very close to me and we have a great relationship.

Lionel Messi

Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe.

Anne Bronte

More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple pity that will not forsake us

George Eliot

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.

Pablo Picasso
