Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Copy Quote Text

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Khalil Gibran Poet

We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting

Khalil Gibran Poet

When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

Khalil Gibran Poet

You work that you may keep peace with the earth and the soul of the earth.

Khalil Gibran Poet

I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

Alexia Fast Film Actress

I have a hard time articulating the emotional experience of working on a film. Even when I have meetings on films or discussing them with directors, I find that’s my biggest challenge. Different words mean different things to people.

Amy Adams Actress

Great people do things before they're ready. They do things before they know they can do it. Doing what you're afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that - that is what life is. You might be really good. You might find out something about yourself that's really special and if you're not good, who cares? You tried something. Now you know something about yourself.

Amy Poehler Actress

I have a really hard time connecting to music that doesn't feel like I'm somehow solving a puzzle that applies to my life.

Andrew Mcmahon Singer

I think in general, people look at all Olympic athletes, look at all superstar athletes, and they say, "Okay, this guy doesn't have any insecurities." They're almost like these icons who - I don't know how to say it, but like they can't make mistakes. But the reality is, and I'll tell you this firsthand, a lot of great athletes have a lot of insecurities, and they have a really hard time dealing with a lot of so-called losing or however you want to classify it.

Apolo Ohno Short Track Speed Skater

Hard times don't necessarily mean being poor all the time. I've known people that was a part of a family and always feel that the family likes everybody else but them. That hurts and that's as deep a hurt as you can possibly get.

B. B. King Musician
