It isn't running away they're afraid of. We wouldn't get far. It's those other escapes, the ones you can open in yourself, given a cutting edge. Margaret Atwood
What I found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. Truman Capote
Hank Williams quote: "Don't take life TOO serious you can't get out alive anyhow."
Don't take life TOO serious you can't get out alive anyhow. Hank Williams
But we've all ended up giving body and soul to Africa, one way or another. Even Adah, who's becoming an expert in tropical epidemiology and strange new viruses. Each of us got our heart buried in six feet of African dirt; we are all co-conspirators here. I mean, all of us, not just my family. So what do you do now? You get to find your own way to dig out a heart and shake it off and hold it up to the light again. Barbara Kingsolver
Charles Bukowski quote: "I made practice runs down to skid row to get ready for my future."
I made practice runs down to skid row to get ready for my future. Charles Bukowski
What's great about this country is America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Andy Warhol
Jodi Picoult quote: "It took me a lifetime to realizethings don't get lost if they..."
It took me a lifetime to realizethings don't get lost if they don't have value- you don't miss what you don't care about. Jodi Picoult

The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened. Mark Twain
Police business is a hell of a problem. It’s a good deal like politics. It asks for the highest type of men, and there’s nothing in it to attract the highest type of men. So we have to work with what we get. Raymond Chandler
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never..."
Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault. Louisa May Alcott
Gertrude Stein quote: "You have to know what you want to get it."
You have to know what you want to get it. Gertrude Stein
I forewarn you, this will be a rather long talk. I am an old man. I do not know how much longer I will live, and so I want to say what I have to say, while I have the strength to say it. ...Having been warned, some of you will wish to get comfortable. Pleasant dreams. Gordon B. Hinckley
Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do. Emanuel Swedenborg
Gordon B. Hinckley quote: "Forget yourself and get to work."
Forget yourself and get to work. Gordon B. Hinckley
You have to resign yourself to the fact that you waste a lot of trees before you write anything you really like, and that's just the way it is. It's like learning an instrument, you've got to be prepared for hitting wrong notes occasionally, or quite a lot, cause I wrote an awful lot before I wrote anything I was really happy with. And read a lot. Reading really helps. Read anything you can get your hands on. J. K. Rowling
