To Stay Focused in Life: You can't know everyone. You can't do everything. You can't go everywhere. We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better. John C. Maxwell
I come from the South and I know what war is, for I have seen its terrible wreckage and ruin. It is easy for me as President to declare war.

She got really nervous, like, talking about the future. She once told me that she could see herself now, and she could also see the kind of life she wanted to have - kids, husband, suburbs, you know - but she couldn't figure out how to get from point A to point B. Jodi Picoult
Beulah has a husband?' I know. It's a miracle. There can't be more than two people on the planet who'd be willing to sleep with her, and here we are both in the same town. Bill Bryson

Our body remains alive, yet sooner or later our soul will receive a mortal blow. The perfect crime--for we don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were, or where the guilty parties are to be found. Paulo Coelho
We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. George Orwell
Paul Auster quote: "All men contain several men inside them, and most of us bounce..."
All men contain several men inside them, and most of us bounce from one self to another without ever knowing who we are. Paul Auster

They think it gives them greater insight into a piece of art, but when they approach a painting in such a manner, they are belittling both the artist’s work and their own ability to experience it. Each painting I do says everything I want to say on its subject and in terms of that painting, and not all the trivia in the world concerning my private life will give the viewer more insight into it than what hangs there before their eyes. Frankly, as far as I’m... Charles de Lint
