Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece.

Robert Service
But I live and I know that I burn as I grow.
Dar Williams
That eternally harassing, tantalizing future. Mystery! We will all eventually arrive there - willing or unwilling, with all our soul and body. And too often it proves to be a great despot. And so, in the end, I arrived too. Whether the future is a kind or a cruel god is, of course, its own affair. Humanity too often claps with just one hand.

Martin Dansky
Flops are a part of life's menu and I've never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.
Rosalind Russell
The greatest work of art created first by god and then by man, is the creation of life. The whole process is an amazing art in itself.
