Aleister Crowley (1875-1947)

Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.

Lao Tzu (6th century BC)

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

Anne Rice

Obsession led me to write. It's been that way with every book I've ever written. I become completely consumed by a theme, by characters, by a desire to meet a challenge.

Ali Macgraw

I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.

Lucille Ball (1911-1989)

Dolly Parton

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Don Adams (1925-2005)

Cher

Don't take your toys inside just because it's raining.

Sonny Bono (1935-1998)

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
