Ambition is the mind's immodesty.

William Davenant Poet

Faith lights us through the dark to Deity.

William Davenant Poet

Honor is the moral conscience of the great.

William Davenant Poet

All jealousy must be strangled in its birth.

William Davenant Poet

Art does not imitate nature, but founds itself on the study of nature, takes from nature the selections which best accord with its own intention, and then bestows on them that which nature does not possess, viz: The mind and soul of man.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton Novelist

The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.

Michel De Montaigne Writer

There are gentle souls who would pronounce Lolita meaningless because it does not teach them anything. I am neither a reader nor a writer of didactic fiction...For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm.

Vladimir Nabokov Novelist

The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad.

Dennis Hopper Actor

Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate.

Arnold Bennett Film Writer

It simply feels right to me to blend the glittery delights of New York City with a largely raw vegan diet - with the soul-deep conviction that animals are not ours to eat, wear, exploit or experiment on.
