Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.

Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943

Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943

An author spends months writing a book, and maybe puts his heart's blood into it, and then it lies about unread till the reader has nothing else in the world to do.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943

Grief is Newark. It's there. Can't avoid it. The idea is to hold your nose, hope the traffic's not too bad and get on to Manhattan as quickly as possible.: Eli Attie, House M.D., Dying Changes Everything, 2008

We can aspire to anything, but we don't get it just 'cause we want it. I would rather spend my life close to the birds than waste it wishing I had wings.: Eli Attie, House M.D., Dying Changes Everything, 2008
You're supposed to trust friends. You have no reason to be his friend? That is part of the pleasure of friendship: trusting without absolute evidence and then being rewarded for that trust.: David Shore, House M.D., Not Cancer, 2008
