Results from Classic Quotes:

Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), from his report to the King of France on Animal Magnetism, 1784
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.: Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Not being able to govern events, I govern myself.: Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
If you want to write you must have faith in yourself. Faith enough to believe that if a thing is true about you, it is likely true about many people. And if you can have faith in your integrity and your motives, then you can write about yourself without fear.: Gordon Atkinson, Real Live Preacher weblog, 07-25-06

You know, I can see two tiny pictures of myself And there's one in each of your eyes. And they're doin' everything I do. Every time I light a cigarette, they light up theirs. I take a drink and I look in and they're drinkin' too. It's drivin' me crazy. It's drivin' me nuts.: Laurie Anderson, Sharkey's Night
Well I was out in my four door With the top down. And I looked up and there they were: Millions of tiny teardrops Just sort of hanging there And I didn't know whether to laugh or cry And I said to myself: What next big sky?: Laurie Anderson, Strange Angels
This isn't the sort of thing you can leave to chance. You never know when you might find yourself in some sort of cake emergency.: Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata, Animal Crossing: Wild World, 2005
That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. In the act of destruction, man sets himself above life; he transcends himself as a creature. Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate.: Erich Fromm (1900 - 1980), The Sane Society
I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself.: J. K. Rowling
