Georges St-PierreThe future was and remains the quintessential American art form. Other nations sit back and let their futures happen; we construct ours. We can let the future happen, or take the trouble to imagine it. We can imagine it dark or bright - and in the long run, that's how it will be.

Deepak ChopraI'm still happy with the way Einstein's Dreams came out. That book came out of a single inspiration. I really felt like I was not creating the words, that I was hearing the words.

Jim ButcherThere are stories in the Bible about people telling other people how to do things. When you hear this young man say "we don't give up," that's something human beings who win will tell you every time. Breaks will happen.

Sanford I. WeillAnything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible...

Bill FristMy art school rejection letter arrived as a cold manila fist that closed around my fragile hopes ... The fear was practically edible.

Joel OsteenIf Bernie Sanders was the nominee, wherever he went, the crowds would be big and you'd be scared to death of them. You would be worried sick.

None of that is ever gonna happen happen with Hillary Clinton, unless they pay for it, unless they buy it.

Hugh BonnevilleIt's not the plot [of Valley of Violence] - the plot is the reason to get all these things to happen, all these character moments to happen. It was always meant to have these two perspectives.
Ti WestI can't do it. It would be like, say, trying to fall in love with somebody, or trying to convince yourself that your favorite food is pancakes. You don't decide those things, they just happen to you. If God is real, He needs to happen to me.
Donald MillerOf course we also live in a world of great beauty, sacrificial and passionate love, tenderness, prosperity, courage and joy.

Sara MaitlandAccidents happen, whether they're car accidents, friendly fire, drug overdoses. Accidents happen, and they're tragic.

James BelushiAfter all, it was only a story,' I said, determined to prove her wrong. 'All manner of terrible things may happen in a story. They may be startling at the time, but it passes.
