Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark


She used to drag her mattress besider her low window and lie awake for a long while, vibrating with excitement, as a machine vibrates from speed. Life rushed in upon her through that window - or so it seemed. In reality, of course, life rushes from within, not from without. There is no work of art so big or so beautiful that is was not once all contained in some youthful body, like this one which lay on the floor in the moonlight, pulsing with ardor and anticipation.

William Henry Channing


To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never, in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common, this is to be my symphony.

James Boswell


The man who stops making new friends eventually will have none.

William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1600


Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.


People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

Dan Quayle


When I have been asked during these last weeks who caused the riots and the killing in L.A., my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame.

Tobias Wolff


We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are.
