I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

#quotes #sun-tzu

I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence, make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I would bring things to class that I had cooked at home. ~Giada De Laurentiis

We are all human beings, immigrant or non-immigrant. We all feel fear. We all love and become confused when we don't act as well as we would like to. We all get depressed and have feelings of uselessness. All of these things are true and have always been true. ~Akhil Sharma

#quotes #dave-barry #love #marriage

We need better neighbors, neighbors that care about the schools in their neighborhood, whether they have kids in them or not, because they know that the health and vitality of that neighborhood depends on it. ~Thomas Friedman

We need ghost stories because we, in fact, are the ghosts. ~Stephen King
#quotes #stephen-king #stories

Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven. In order for it to succeed, you have to dissolve the self into these larger universal truths, and explore these deeper mysteries. If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn
#quotes #nick-flynn #self #universe #ego
