Solitude never hurt anyone. Emily Dickinson lived alone, and she wrote some of the most beautiful poetry the world has ever known... then went crazy as a loon."Lisa Simpson Matt Groening
Barefoot or first thing in the morning, I feel beautiful. I didn't always feel that way, but I feel that way now. When somebody loves you, and when you make somebody else happy, when your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly feel like the most beautiful person in the world. Angelina Jolie
These napkins are more holy than righteous? Mrs. Wapshot said, and most of her conversation at table was made up of just such chestnuts, saws and hoary puns. John Cheever
Jodi Picoult quote: "Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what..."
Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least. Jodi Picoult
Sam Keen quote: "Trust what moves you most deeply."
Trust what moves you most deeply. Sam Keen
If what we need to dream, to move our spirits most deeply and directly toward and through promise, is discounted as a luxury, then we give up the core -- the fountain -- of our power, our womanness; we give up the future of our worlds. (From "Poetry is Not a Luxury") Audre Lorde
But while Sasha told us that in America even the most successful men can have but one wife at once--my father had six--and talked about escalators, indoor plumbing, and the various laws of the land, he did not warn us that I would be told by American teenagers that I should go back to Africa. Dave Eggers
A woman cannot live in the light of intellect. Society forbids it. Those conventional frivolities, which are called her 'duties', forbid it. Her 'domestic duties', high-sounding words, which, for the most part, are but bad habits (which she has not the courage to enfranchise herself from, the strength to break through), forbid it. Florence Nightingale
What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard. C. S. Lewis
Kate DiCamillo quote: "It seems to be that way with most things. No one to do the..."
It seems to be that way with most things. No one to do the really disagreeable jobs except oneself. Kate DiCamillo
James Madison quote: "Disarm the people- that is the best and most effectiveway to..."
Disarm the people- that is the best and most effectiveway to enslave them. James Madison
What goes on inside is just too fast and huge and all interconnected for words to do more than barely sketch the outlines of at most one tiny little part of it at any given instant. David Foster Wallace
I told him the truth, that I loved him and didn't regret anything about our lives together. But do we ever 'tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God' as my father used to say, to those we love? Or even to ourselves? Don't even the best and most fortunate of lives hint at other possibilities, at a different kind of sweetness and, yes, bitterness too? Isn't this why we can't help feeling cheated, even when we know we haven't been? Richard Russo
Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt, and cannot last; and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth, and an age a little out of countenance; but yet certainly again, if it light well, it maketh virtue shine, and vices blush. Francis Bacon
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "In most cases, people, even wicked people, are far more naive..."
In most cases, people, even wicked people, are far more naive and simple-hearted than one generally assumes. And so are we. Fyodor Dostoevsky
