When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.

Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.

The reality is that changes are coming... They must come. You must share in bringing them.

We must learn to view change as a natural phenomenon - to anticipate it and to plan for it. The future is ours to channel in the direction we want to go... we must continually ask ourselves, "What will happen if...?" or better still, "How can we make it happen?"

It's never too late - in fiction or in life - to revise.

Change the fabric of your own soul and your own visions and you change all.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

Things do not change; we change.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.

The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

What is more enthralling to the human mind than this splendid, boundless, coloured mutability! Life in the making?

If you want to change your life, change your mind.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

Change is the watchword of progression. When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view.

Readjusting is a painful process, but most of us need it at one time or another.

We accept the verdict of the past until the need for change cries out loudly enough to force upon us a choice between the comforts of inertia and the irksomeness of action.

Loyalty to a petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality.

The most significant change in a person's life is a change of attitude. Right attitudes produce right actions.

Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another.

He that has energy enough to root out a vice should go further, and try to plant a virtue in its place.

The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it's something you allow.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door, that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back...

All great changes are preceded by chaos.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Brooke might tell a different story, but I've always loved the water.

No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own littleness than disbelief in great men.

Comic books epitomize the accessibility disposability and appeal to instant gratification that lie at the core of modern consumer culture.

I don't worry about what everyone wants to see. I make movies that please a writer, director and myself. I always think there are enough people smart as me and sensitive as me.

I started making art with art therapy. It's what I know how to do. I got a lot of criticism for that when I was in school. But I think it works for me.

As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning.

I love giving the energy and getting the energy back. There is nothing like it.

The habits of study in which I have been brought up have done much to support me. I never allow myself to be one moment unoccupied.

I love deeply, and when it comes to singing love songs and something that I have no problem doing, I put all of my heart and soul into these love songs. I know my fans out there are listening, taking these songs to heart. Like I say, they're relating these songs to their lives, too, and their relationships.

Normally, I've found in my life that the louder you speak, probably, the less of a fighter you are. All the fighters I've had a chance and the honor to serve with didn't pat themselves on the back, were pretty humble men and women.

We have to straighten out our country; we have to make our country great again, and we need energy and enthusiasm.

There's a show in America where all these people compete with ferrets, and they don't even do anything. They basically just hold them up, and if they don't bite you, they might win.

Putting out a debut album is a bit scary - I want it to be just right, so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem's increased involvement has been such a blessing; I'm getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust.

After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

Bad people are less a problem than indifferent people.

I can remember standing in the middle of the field after the race and seeing the American flag raised and hearing 'The Star Spangled Banner' and all the people singing it. Then I walked off the field and just kind of enjoyed the feeling.

It will be hard for us and it will be an achievement just to get out of the group stages and through to the quarterfinals, but I am personally dreaming of reaching the final!

I'm in the theater because of two plays: 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'Death of a Salesman.'

Memorial Day this year is especially important as we are reminded almost daily of the great sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Services make to defend our way of life.

Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.
