I don't believe in the clash of cultures. The culture is one. The culture is a ring off the same chain. Picasso was very much influenced by the African arts, and he influenced a whole other generation of artists. So everything influences everything. ~Marjane Satrapi

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it. ~George Bernard Shaw

It's hard to imagine that our love is a story with an end. But you know, at least I'm getting some really good songs out of it ~Miley Cyrus

Atrial fibrillation can be taken care of. The point is that it is manageable. Everybody is different and will have different ways of managing whatever they need, and their doctor will have ways of managing theirs. But I think the first key is just to know it exists, know whether you have it, and know what the risks are and take care of yourself! ~Howie Mandel

I feel lucky that I had my children late. Not that I would advise it in any shape or form. But I know friends who had children when they were young, struggled with feeling trapped. I can honestly say I have never once resented the fact that I could not go out because of my kids. ~Mariella Frostrup

If we are to perpetuate the state, we must not only produce citizens, but good citizens; men and women of sound bodies, clear minds and clean souls. ~Arthur Capper

Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of miles apart. In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach. ~Leigh Bardugo

The mind of the polyglot is a very particular thing, and scientists are only beginning to look closely at how acquiring a second language influences learning, behavior and the very structure of the brain itself. ~Jeffrey Kluger

I went to church with my grandparents sometimes, and I loved it. ~Anne Lamott
#quotes #anne-lamott #church

I'm like the luckiest girl in the world. I've gotten to be a princess, I've gotten to work with the Muppets. A lot of my childhood dreams about who I wanted to be when I was a grown-up, I at least get to play them in movies. ~Amy Adams

Repression, however, is not the most obvious characteristic of the sea; the sea is a collector, quick to return a rapacious look. ~Marianne Moore
#quotes #marianne-moore #sea

We should go into His presence as a child goes to his father. We do it with reverence and godly fear, of course, but we should go with a childlike confidence and simplicity. ~David Lloyd Jones

Life sucks order from a sea of disorder. ~James Gleick
#quotes #james-gleick #life #order

To create worry humans elongate fear with anticipation and memory, expand it in imagination and fuel it with emotion. The uniquely human mental process called worrying depends upon having a brain that can reason, remember, reflect, feel, and imagine. Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell

Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink and an elephant may bathe. ~Indian Proverb

Go to your duty, every man, and trust yourself to Christ; for He will give you all supply just as fast as you need it. You will have just as much power as you believe you can have. Be a Christian; throw yourself upon God's work; and get the ability you want in it. ~Horace Bushnell

There have been a couple of jobs I have done without thinking, without being engaged, and they just stink. ~Clancy Brown
#quotes #clancy-brown #thinking #work

For my entire career, I wanted to be a director. When I was in the theater, it was very difficult to get directing jobs, and I fell into the acting by default. I got in the habit of accepting whatever came my way. Not things that I disagreed with, though. It's not like I had aspirations, well, I did have aspirations to play Hamlet, which I ended up doing. ~James Cromwell

Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one is never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them. ~Aldous Huxley

The desert tells a different story every time one ventures on it. ~Robert Edison Fulton

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. ~English Proverb

I have a folder of scraps and pieces of paper with stuff, ideas for songs from the last 25 years; just little things, maybe early songs that I finished, but didn't think they were good enough. ~Lucinda Williams

In wintertime I like to wear flannel button down pyjamas, and in summer I prefer to wear, well; nothing. ~Phoebe Tonkin
