Arthur AsheI've hear the diva rumours, they crack me up. I'm such a plain Jane. And my roots are so instilled in me that it's not that weird to go home. I think it depends on the kind of person you are; whether you're easily drawn to the superficial things, but that's not who I am. People driven by the money and fame, I've seen how it makes them and that life means nothing to me. [Elle UK March 2004]

Henry MillerA child's eyes, those clear, wells of undefiled thought - what on earth can be more beautiful? Full of hope, love and curiosity, they meet your own. In prayer, how earnest; in joy, how sparkling; in sympathy, how tender! The man who never tried the companionship of a little child has carelessly passed by one of the great pleasures of life, as one passes a rare flower without plucking it or knowing its value
Caroline NortonIn this life there's nothing new in dying, But nor of course is living any newer
Sergei YeseninLife without liberty is like a body without spirit.

Samuel ButlerChange is constant and therefore if we try to deny it then there is something about the nature of life we are denying at the same time.
Dennis FranzThere is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.
Raymond ChandlerThe idea for which this nation stands will not survive if the highest goal free man can set themselves is an amiable mediocrity. Excellence implies striving for the highest standards in every phase of life.
