As a young man you don't notice at all that you were, after all, badly affected. For years afterwards, at least ten years, I kept getting these dreams, in which I had to crawl through ruined houses, along passages I could hardly get through.

A new public opinion must be created privately and unobtrusively. The existing one is maintained by the press, by propaganda, by organization, and by financial and other influences which are at its disposal. The unnatural way of spreading ideas must be opposed by the natural one, which goes from man to man and relies solely on the truth of the thoughts and the hearer's receptiveness for new truth.

Albert Schweitzer

Love seeks a guerdon; friendship is as God, Who gives and asks no payment.

Richard Hovey

The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion; and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology.

Basil Bunting

You can't hang around waiting for somebody else to pull your strings. Destiny's what you make of it. You have to face whatever life throws at you. And if it throws more than you'd like, more than you think you can handle? Well then you just have to find the heroism within yourself and play out the hand you've been dealt. The universe never sets a challenge that can't be met. You just need to believe in yourself in order to find the strength to face it.

Darren Shan

As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.

Tom Araya

A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop.

Robert Hughes

More than we use is more than we want.

Scottish Proverb

A good story is a dream shared by the author and the reader. Anything that wakes the reader from the dream is a mortal sin.

Victor J. Banis

The body can do amazing things in a situation when it is really called for.

Suzanne Farrell

Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.

Hannah Arendt

You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly.

Terence

Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool things after each other.

Oscar Wilde
