Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

And since, in our passage through this world, painful circumstances occur more frequently than pleasing ones, and since our sense of evil is, I fear, more acute than our sense of good, we become the victims of our feelings, unless we can in some degree command them.: Ann Radcliffe (1764 - 1823), The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor.: Michael Patrick King, Sex and the City
The best defence against misguided arrogance is a keen sense of humour.: Kathryn L. Nelson, Pemberley Manor, 2006

While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010

You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts. You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. But that’s all.: Sugar, The Rumpus Advice Column #72
I really feel as if the things we create together are not things we devised, but things we discovered, as if, in some sense, they were always there in us, waiting to be revealed, like the figure of Mercury waiting in a rough lump of marble.: Raymond Joseph Teller, Fury Letter written to Brian Brushwood, 10-18-93

The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!: Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Sense and Sensibility, 1811

Results from Classic Quotes:

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969), From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953
But all art is sensual and poetry particularly so. It is directly, that is, of the senses, and since the senses do not exist without an object for their employment all art is necessarily objective. It doesn't declaim or explain, it presents.: William Carlos Williams (1883 - 1963)
The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
