An influence is created which tells upon them even if it never finds its way into print. Virginia Woolf
And finally, to call to mind the enormous influence which "German philosophy"--I hope you understand its right to inverted commas- Friedrich Nietzsche
The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one’s influence wide to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it. Marianne Williamson
Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn't my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I don't really feel, of understanding things I don't understand, being able to do things I'm not able to do (...) Can it really be allowable for anyone who feels like it to hypnotize another person, or many other persons, and then do what he likes with them? Particularly if the hypnotist is the first... Leo Tolstoy
You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be. Napolean Hill
Well people are just one species too, aren't they. And it's never stopped them fighting with each other; all the same species and think of all the excuses for war they've used! It hasn't had to be about space to live in, it's been about power, prestige, influence, fame, resources and I don't know what else! Karel Capek
I'm looking forward to influencing others in a positive way. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. Justin Bieber
A mother would have been always present. A mother would have been a constant friend; her influence would have been beyond all other. Jane Austen

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. Amos Bronson Alcott
All literature, highbrow or low, from the Aeneid onward, is fan fiction....Through parody and pastiche, allusion and homage, retelling and reimagining the stories that were told before us and that we have come of age loving--amateurs--we proceed, seeking out the blank places in the map that our favorite writers, in their greatness and negligence, have left for us, hoping to pass on to our own readers--should we be lucky enough to find any--some of the pleasure that we ourselves have taken in... Michael Chabon
