Isaac Asimov - From my close observation of writers...they fall into two groups 1) those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and 2) those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree or draw a child by studying the outlines of its form merely . . . but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at every attitude . . .
Josh Billings - Knowledge is like money the more he gets, the more he craves.
Victor Hugo - A compliment is like a kiss through a veil.
Isaac Asimov - Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
Erica Jong - Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to nurture it in solitude and to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads.
La Rochefoucauld - When we are in love we often doubt that which we most believe.
Anais Nin - Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Victor Hugo - So different are the colours of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.
George Bernard Shaw - There is only one universal passion fear.
Harry Emerson Fosdick - Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.
George Bernard Shaw - Self-denial is not a virtue it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - The education of the will is the object of our existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ernest Hemingway - They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.
