One of William's favorite quotes is:""Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." — Dr. Seuss "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe "A room without books is like a body without a soul." — Marcus Tullius Cicero "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." — Albert Camus "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." — Apple Computer Inc. "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." — Ralph Waldo Emerson "Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." — G.K. Chesterton "Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be." — Shel Silverstein "The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." — Ayn Rand "There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line." — Oscar Levant "Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men." — Joseph Conrad "When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity." — Albert Einstein "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." — Groucho Marx "I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing." — Neil Gaiman (The Kindly Ones) "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." — Audrey Hepburn "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always ...Expand for more
hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." — Roald Dahl "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right." — Henry Ford "I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity." — Gilda Radner "Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like." — Lemony Snicket "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand." — Kurt Vonnegut "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." — Plato "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." — Winston S. Churchill "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." — Toni Morrison "There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.....the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope." — Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo) "Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love." — Rainer Maria Rilke "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." — Arthur Schopenhauer "Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself." — George Bernard Shaw "Of course, there's no book I wouldn't read, so..." — Ellis Corollary "It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane." — Philip K. Dick "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity." — Edgar Allan Poe "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself." — Robert Frost "Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky." — Alan Moore "Talk low, Talk slow, and Don't say too much." — John Wayne "Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there." — Sarah Dessen "Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself." — John Green "A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading." — William Styron "You know how when you're listening to music playing from another room? And you're singing along because it's a tune that you really love? When a door closes or a train passes so you can't hear the music anymore, but you sing along anyway... then, no matter how much time passes, when you hear the music again you're still in exact same time with it. That's what it's like." -- Danny, "Music from Another Room"".
