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.

I joke around a lot about the manic times because they're funny. We manics do outrageous things and it is part of our colorful nature.

Patty Duke

Life didn't explode in the sunshine and pretty places. Life took the strongest root with a little bit of rain and with a whole lot of shit for fertilizer. Although love could grow in times of peace, it tempered in battle.

Karen Marie Moning

Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.

Blaise Pascal

Everybody hangs out with everybody, which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We're all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all... . Everybody really, really likes everybody else.

Lizzy Caplan

You won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.

Dean Koontz

All through history, there have always been movements where business was not just about the accumulation of proceeds but also for the public good.

Anita Roddick

You must take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it.

Yann Martel

With all of the divisiveness that is going on in the country we live in, so much of it is based around just fear of the other. And anyone who does not look like me, walk like me, talk like me, have sex like me, they're the other and I'm afraid of them. And hopefully we will learn that it's just not scary. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Ellen Barkin

We sometimes choose the most locked up, dark versions of the story, but what a good friend does is turn on the lights, open the window, and remind us that there are a whole lot of ways to tell the same story.

Shauna Niequist

Good as it is to inherit a library, it is better to collect one.

Augustine Birrell

Education levels the playing field, allowing everyone to compete.

Joyce Meyer

The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.

Albert Einstein
