When one sings, one does not speak about the problems of the every day. One speaks about the things which inspire us, which helped us. Yannick Noah

It has broken up already and given place to the interest of the individual. Now and then something still will shine through from that other time when we all wore the same rig, but already it is dwindled and dim.

Then it becomes something that is just there, in the closet, and other things get crowded in front of it and on top of it and finally you don't think about it at all. The thing that was your bright treasure. You don't think about it. A loss you could not contemplate at one time, and now it becomes something you can barely remember. This... Alice Munro
After the thing went off, after it was a sure thing that America could wipe out a city with just one bomb, a scientist turned to Father and said, 'Science has now known sin.' And do you know what Father said? He said, 'What is sin? Kurt Vonnegut
Charles Kingsley quote: "The most wonderful and the strongest things in the world, you..."
The most wonderful and the strongest things in the world, you know, are just the things which no one can see. Charles Kingsley
Oscar Wilde quote: "Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool..."
