Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
Marilyn Monroe
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Albert Einstein
People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
Bill Watterson
Many people come to reinvention when life changes around them, but people come in all different stripes. I'm oriented to change.
Jane Pauley
People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.
Jim Morrison
When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
Nelson Mandela
Write because you love it and not because it is something that you think you should do. Always write about something or somebody you know about - something that you feel deeply and passionately about. Never try and force it.
Michael Morpurgo
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.
Thornton Wilder
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
John Lennon
Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me.
