Hope for the best, be prepared for the worse. Life is shocking, but you must never appear to be shocked. For no matter how bad it is it could be worse and no matter how good it is it could be better. Maya Angelou

With the confidence and peace of mind native to true genius, I lay my life story before the world, so that the reader may learn how to educate himself to be a great tomcat, may recognize the full extent of my excellence, may love, value, honour and admire me- and worship me a little. Should anyone be audacious enough to think of casting doubt on the sterling worth of this remarkable book, let him reflect that he is dealing with a tomcat possessed of intellect, understanding, and sharp claws.... E. T. A. Hoffmann
Robert E. Howard quote: "I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, & am content."
I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, & am content. Robert E. Howard

Some mysteries are simply irresistible,” she said. “They have components that alter a life. Anne Rice
It seemed to me when I wrote The Life and Loves of a She-Devil that women were so much in the habit of being good it would do nobody any harm if they learned to be a little bad - that is to say, burn down their houses, give away their children, put their husband in prison, steal his money and turn themselves into their husband's mistress. Fay Weldon
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Yet I wouldn't trade it. I didn't want the life that made..."
Yet I wouldn't trade it. I didn't want the life that made sense. Not if the chaos meant I could be with Bella. Stephenie Meyer
It's a good life lesson, whether or. it you ever work with wolves, Edward. No matter what you do for someone- no matter if you feed him a bottle as a baby or curl up with him at night to keep him warm or go him food so he's not hungry- make one wrong move at the wrong moment, and you could become someone unrecognizable. Jodi Picoult
Love of the absolute engenders a predilection for self-destruction. Hence the passion for monasteries and brothels. Cells and women, in both cases. Weariness with life fares well in the shadow of whores and saintly women. Emile M. Cioran
The human spirit is as expansive as the cosmos. This is why it is so tragic to belittle yourself or to question your worth. No matter what happens, continue to push back the boundaries of your inner life. The confidence to prevail over any problem, the strength to overcome adversity and unbounded hope? all reside within you. Daisaku Ikeda
Joan Didion quote: "Why do you always have to be right. Why do you always have to..."
Why do you always have to be right. Why do you always have to have the last word. For once in your life just let it go. Joan Didion
