There was goodness in the world still, even if you couldn't always see it.

Jenny Valentine Novelist

It's not knowing that drives you mad. It's imaging things that you wish you couldn't think up all by yourself.

Jenny Valentine Novelist

Even when you’d lost everything you thought there was to lose, somebody came along and gave you something for free.

Jenny Valentine Novelist

It's amazing what storms your face can hide, what terrible wrecks can writhe and heave beneath, without one ripple on the surface.

Jenny Valentine Novelist

My sense of religion is Einstein's sense of relativity. I don't believe in God. I believe that energy never dies. So the possibility exists that you might be breathing in some other form of Moses or Buddha or Muhammad or Bobby Kennedy or Roosevelt or Martin Luther King or Jesus.

Mandy Patinkin Actor

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.

Adam Duritz Musician

Anyone else feel like that? Like your life's a big act. Like you're trying to be a man when you're just a scared kid, trying to keep under control when you really want to scream, cry, or maybe hit someone. Ever feel like you're breathing underwater and you have to stop because you're gulping in too much fluid.

Alex Flinn Writer

There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish.

Alfred Adler Psychotherapist

My music is homegrown from the garden of New Orleans. Music is everything to me short of breathing. Music also has a role to lift you up - not to be escapist but to take you out of misery.

Allen Toussaint Musician

Writing is mysterious, and it's supposed to be...any path that gets you there is a good path in the end. But one true thing among all these paths is the need to tap a deep vein of connection between our own uncontrollable interior preoccupations and what we're most concerned about in the world around us. We write in response to that world; we write in response to what we read and learn; and in the end we write out of our deepest selves, the live, breathing, bleeding place where the picture forms, and where it all begins.

Andrea Barrett Novelist
