Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up

Barack Obama

The irrational in the human has something about it altogether repulsive and terrible, as we see in the maniac, the miser, the drunkard or the ape.

George Santayana

On his deathbed Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuse are for all the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

Mark Twain

I paint things as they are. I don't comment. I record.

Henri De Toulouse Lautrec

Many talk like philosophers yet live like fools.

Proverb

Beauty could be defined simply as 'that which pleases.' But there is another aspect to art, and that... is the sublime. Like the mushroom cloud of the atom bomb, or the vastness of space as projected to us by satellite... the greatness of the experience goes beyond your ethical and aesthetic judgment, cutting you free from the binding ego of yourself. With the diminishment of your ego, the less there is of you, the more you see the sublime.

Jen Wang

True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility.

Philip Pullman

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips it's turn.

Hal Borland

There must of course be a relationship between translating and making poems of your own, but what it is I just don't know.

Robert Fitzgerald

How can they expect a harvest of thought who have not had the seed time of character.

Henry David Thoreau

I'm just like so many women - I was frustrated, I had these white pants that I had spent a lot of money on, and you get home and you think, 'What am I really supposed to wear under this?' So it was a frustrated consumer moment.

Sara Blakely

Patriotism, when it wants to make itself felt in the domain of learning, is a dirty fellow who should be thrown out of doors.

Arthur Schopenhauer
