Am I a nicer person? I think that's the wrong statement.
I'm not mean to anybody. I have my moments when I want
to and moments I
don't. But that doesn't make me a bad person.
- Barry Bonds

"Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you
said couldn't be done."

"You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen.
But if you are beautiful at sixty,
it will be your soul's own doing."

~~ Marie Carmichael Stopes ~~

I envy things on which a price tag cannot be put. I envy anyone who can
do a backward somersault in midair from a standing position. I envy
people who speak foriegn languages easily...men who have fought a war
and survived. I envy people who can travel abroad with a single piece
of carry-on luggage. I envy people who have good posture...Above all, I
envy those few people who truly understand that life is a fragile
bargain, rescindable at any time by the other party and live their lives
accordingly."
-Joseph Epstein

"Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live
long enough to make them all yourself."

I can accept failure -- everyone fails at something.
But I can't accept not trying.
- Michael Jordan

To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of
the most pleasant sensations in the world. You are
surrounded by adventure. You have no idea what is
in store for you, but you will, if you are wise and know
the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the
unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in
which the gods may offer it.
-- Freya Stark

She crossed borders recklessly, refusing to recognize
limits, saying "bonjour" and "buon giorno" as though
she owned both France and Italy and the day itself. . .
She was free to grasp it all: to bite into fruit that had
ripened on other people's trees; to warm herself in
the sun they had hung out.
-- Helen Hudson

"The true perfection of man lies, not in what man
has, but in what man is. Nothing should be able
to harm a man but himself. Nothing should be
able to rob a man at all. What a man really has is
what is in him. What is outside of him should be
a matter of no importance."
-Oscar Wilde

"I mourn the loss of books that will never be written, I mourn the
voices that will be silenced--writers voices, teachers' voices,
students' voices--and all because of fear."
-Judy Blume

We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.
--- Aneurin Bevan 1897

"When there's real value in what you have to offer, your
actions speak for you. You don't need to speak it or flaunt
it." --Eva

People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did, but
People will never forget how you made them feel.

"Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time
and sometimes you weep."

"Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore
ourselves?"
-- Friedrich Nietzsche

"They can call me crazy if I fail, all the chance that I need, is
one-in-a-million and they can call me brilliant if I succeed."

"I do it for the joy it brings, cause I'm a joyful girl. 'Cause the world
owes us nothing, we owe each other the world."
-- Ani DiFranco

"Don't let success go into your head nor failures go into your heart."

"Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?"
