Jack LondonThere is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWith all of their benefits, and there are many, one of the things I regret about e-books is that they have taken away the necessity of trawling foreign bookshops or the shelves of holiday houses to find something to read. I’ve come across gems and stinkers that way, and both can be fun.
J. K. RowlingWhy should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.
William JamesI don’t claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I’m home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, ‚Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.‘
Jimmy CarterI’ve actually taken companies public, I’ve actually busted companies, I’ve actually gone broke.

Ray BradburyEven Hubble hasn’t found yet the end of this universe, and we don’t know that it has any end.
Billy GrahamFame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experience, but that’s not where I live.
Marilyn MonroeIs it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

Stephen HawkingA fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
William ShakespeareOne of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes; you move to places you wouldn’t if you knew better.
Brian EnoI like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhen I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaI’ve experienced great things, I’ve experienced great tragedies. I’ve done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there’s more.
Dave GrohlI don’t dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it’s gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin‘ White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It’s connected to where you are today.

Taylor SwiftMy life is mine to remember.
DrakeHowever many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

Harper LeeThere are trees of a thousand sorts, and all have their several fruits; and I feel the most unhappy man in the world not to know them, for I am well assured that they are all valuable. I bring home specimens of them, and also of the land.
Christopher ColumbusBig stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don’t speak the language and haven’t been before – that’s really satisfying to me. I like that.
Anthony BourdainWhen I look back on what I did for the Left, I’m in a small way quite proud of some of it – I only wish I’d done more.
Christopher HitchensTouring is hard on the body.
EminemAfter having dispatched a meal, I went ashore, and found no habitation save a single house, and that without an occupant; we had no doubt that the people had fled in terror at our approach, as the house was completely furnished.
Christopher ColumbusThere are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.
