I will stand on, and continue to use, the figures I have used, because I believe they are correct. Now, I'm not going to deny that you don't now and then slip up on something; no one bats a thousand. ~Ronald Reagan
#quotes #ronald-reagan #politics

I don't believe in the clash of cultures. The culture is one. The culture is a ring off the same chain. Picasso was very much influenced by the African arts, and he influenced a whole other generation of artists. So everything influences everything. ~Marjane Satrapi

I saw a photo of the Svoboda leader, Yatseniuk [Arseniy Yatseniuk, one of Batkivschyna leaders] and Klitschko [Vitali Klitschko, UDAR party leader] together demonstrating the unity of opposition. But I can't imagine that people like Klitschko, who position themselves as Europeans, and Yatseniuk, would willingly shake the hand of a person who in public states that Jews are the main threat to European civilization. Sometimes, while looking for and respecting opposition, we can't recognize it, ~Marek Siwiec

#quotes #elizabeth-jennings #poetry #order

Failure is fantastic, because you meet yourself and get to know your limitations. This is how I express myself, and I can't do it any other way. ~Billy Childish
#quotes #billy-childish #failure

How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst
#quotes #robert-bringhurst #writing #poetry #money

Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. ~Chinese Proverb

There is no shop, book, or person, that gives you confidence; it comes through reconnecting with your true authentic self. ~Ralph Smart
#quotes #ralph-smart #confidence #self

Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it. ~Gilbert K. Chesterton
#quotes #gilbert-k-chesterton #fiction #mind #reality

The way I look at it is that once you create a piece of art, and it's out in the world, there's nothing you can do about it. People can use it the way they want to. There's nothing you can do about it. All you can hope for is that people that are using it are using it with the best intent. ~David Lloyd
#quotes #david-lloyd #art #hope #reality

Prayer gives a man the opportunity of getting to know a gentleman he hardly ever meets. I do not mean his maker, but himself. ~William Ralph Inge

I am defeated all the time, yet to victory I am born. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
