People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
George Allen, Sr.
You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.
Richelle Mead
I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
Roy Lichtenstein
It is necessary to fall in love... if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.
Albert Camus
Basically, I think you need two things to get by in this world: a sense of humor and the ability to laugh when your ego is destroyed.
Arlo Guthrie
Always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary.
