Any fool can write a novel but it takes real genius to sell it. ~J. G. Ballard
#quotes #j-g-ballard #writing #selling

All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility. ~Patricia Briggs

I always enjoyed myself a lot in pre-school. ~Valentino Garavani
#quotes #valentino-garavani #schooling #childhood

Grade school was perilous. I can see how I must have worried them. I was the kind of kid who, for no apparent reason, wept piteously or threw up on myself. On an especially scary day, I sometimes did both. ~Sue Grafton
#quotes #sue-grafton #children #schooling

We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all. ~William Wilberforce

Love me when I least deserve it, because that is when I really need it. ~Swedish Proverb

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest. ~Irish Proverb
