Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others. Then we might even come to see that it is our veneration for what has already been created, however beautiful and valid it may be, that petrifies us.

Power means happiness; power means hard work and sacrifice.

Beyonce Knowles

Summer ends now; now, barbarous in beauty, the stooks arise Around; up above, what wind-walks! what lovely behaviour Of silk-sack clouds! has wilder, wilful-wavier Meal-drift moulded ever and melted across skies?

Gerard Manley Hopkins

I don't really go down one path. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist, or a Catholic or a Christian or a Muslim, or Jewish. I couldn't put myself into any organized faith.

Dean Cain

We'd be working in our motel room through the night, and I'd come up with an idea at two in the morning, and he'd start jumping up and down, pacing across the room, or whatever.

Arthur Hiller

Judy Biggert

One science only will one genius fit so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

Alexander Pope

Man - a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.

Mark Twain

Maya Angelou

We work to become, not to acquire.

Elbert Hubbard

Said the little boy, Sometimes I drop my spoon.Said the little old man, I do that too.The little boy whispered, I wet my pants.I do too, laughed the old man.Said the little boy, I often cry.The old man nodded. So do I.But worst of all, said the boy, it seemsGrown-ups don't pay attention to me.And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.I know what you mean, said the little old man.

Shel Silverstein, The Little Boy

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
