Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Kazuyuki Naito

[31st over: World XI 110-7 (Flintoff 14, Pollock 3) - 146 to win) Just the one Pollock run from that over.] I too can sympathise with Matthew Cobb - something similar happened to me when playing cricket as a teenager, ...

Peter Smith

On the one hand it's a concept album about this guy who's trapped between life and death, but on the other hand we didn't want everyone to take it so seriously. My favorite movies, books and art have a certain duality - art that you can look at in one way and take out different meanings.

Ben Jorgensen

The perfect no-stress environment is the grave. When we change our perception we gain control. The stress becomes a challenge, not a threat. When we commit to action, to actually doing something rather than feeling trapped by events, the stress in our life becomes manageable.

Greg Anderson

Cirrus clouds are like a blanket. They trap heat in the system. That energy has to escape somehow.
