Quem luta com monstros deve velar por que, ao fazê-lo, não se transforme também em monstro. E se tu olhares, durante muito tempo, para um abismo, o abismo também olha para dentro de ti. 

As pessoas não carecem de força, carecem de determinação. 

Bom mesmo é ir à luta com determinação, abraçar a vida com paixão, perder com classe e vencer com ousadia, porque o mundo pertence a quem se atreve e a vida é muito para ser insignificante.

Só é lutador quem sabe lutar consigo mesmo. 

A força não provém da capacidade física. Provém de uma vontade indomável. 

A força de vontade deve ser mais forte do que a habilidade. 

O que falta às pessoas não é força, e sim, vontade. 

Nada existe tão alto que o homem, com força de vontade, não possa apoiar a sua escada. 

Assim como o lutador, o guerreiro da luz conhece sua imensa força; e jamais luta com quem não merece a honra do combate. 

A alegria está na luta, na tentativa, no sofrimento envolvido e não na vitória propriamente dita. 

Todo o homem luta com mais bravura pelos seus interesses do que pelos seus direitos. 

Quem luta contra nós reforça os nossos nervos e aguça as nossas habilidades. O nosso antagonista é quem mais nos ajuda. 

Dura é a luta contra o desejo, que compra o que quer à custa da alma. 

Não há quem sustente uma luta mais árdua do que aquele que se tenta vencer a si próprio. 

O homem é feito para a luta, não para o repouso. 

A vida é cheia de obrigações que a gente cumpre por mais vontade que tenha de as infringir deslavadamente. 

I don't know that human beings were meant to mate for life or be monogamous. But, for me, the aspect of marriage that is troubling is that it's a contract that is governed by the state, and I don't want the state to have control over my personal affairs.

That's the way it is with entrepreneurial people. You try one thing, it doesn't work, you try another.

There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship.

Marketing people have every reason to be grateful for the existence of reluctant consumers: if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have jobs.

I'm a Navy brat. You find that a lot of stage actors are Army or Navy brats, because they have the ability to make a big impression, make friends, and then leave just a few months later.

Carnival is a butterfly of winter whose last real flight of Mardi Gras forever ends his glory. Another season is the season of another butterfly, and the tattered, scattered, fragments of rainbow wings are in turn the record of his day.

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

Knowledge is power only if man knows what facts not to bother with.

In a world like this one, only the random makes sense.

Ever since I was two, I've loved octopuses, monsters, abandoned buildings.

I don't see anything that's come out on WikiLeaks that was a legitimate secret.

No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.

In the United States, the Supreme Court's decision of 1954, outlawing segregation in school systems, was greeted with mixed feelings of hope and skepticism by African-Americans.

Dreams are only dreams until you wake up and make them real.

We women are way too hard on ourselves. I don't know who some women are dressing for, but we should be celebrating our bodies.

I'm invested in about 13 private companies. I've advised probably another 50 private companies.

I'm not a tycoon or anything like that. Does my property amount to several million dollars? Of course it does.

I've never eaten just a few bites of things I liked in my life.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

Hockey is like a disease you cant really shake it.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.

With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.

I'm not only a lawyer, I have a post doctorate degree in federal tax law from William and Mary. I work in serious scholarship and work in the United States federal tax court. My husband and I raised five kids. We've raised 23 foster children. We've applied ourselves to education reform. We started a charter school for at-risk kids.

I want to emphasize that I am not opposed to pipelines. We already have hundreds of them in our state. I am opposed to the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline route because it is directly over the Ogallala Aquifer.
