It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.

I think the short story is a very underrated art form. We know that novels deserve respect.

Neil Gaiman

Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential.

Liane Cardes

It's how we see the world that keeps the darkness beyond at bay. Keeps it from pouring through and devouring us. I think all of us might know that, way down deep.

Stephen King

Consultants are people who borrow your watch and tell you what time it is, and then walk off with the watch.

Robert Townsend

Writers write. Dreamers talk about it.

Jerry B. Jenkins

I think I have a tendency to look at things subjectively rather than objectively when I reflect on my experience.

Ricky Williams

Every citizen of the republic ought to consider himself an unofficial policeman, and keep unsalaried watch and ward over the laws and their execution

Mark Twain

A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.

Thomas Szasz

The world gets grimy and the love object is in stark relief from its surroundings. This is love, a pretty thing on an ugly street and why wouldn't you pick it up if it appeared in a taxi cab.

Daniel Handler

A stiff apology is a second insult. The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.

G. K. Chesterton

I swear... to hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture.

Hippocrates

The worst part about celebrating another birthday is the shock that you're only as well as you are.

Anne Lamott
