• Today is tomorrow, and present is past.
  Nothing exists and everything will last.
  There is no beginning, there was no end.
  No depth to fall, no height to ascend.
  There is only this moment, this flicker of light
  That illuminates nothing, but oh! So bright!
  For we are the spark that flutters in space,
  Consuming an eternity of a moment’s grace.
  For today is tomorrow and present and past.
  Nothing exists and everything will last.

  Jane Roberts

• Men are four;
  He who knows and knows not that he knows. He is asleep; wake him.
  He who knows not and knows not that he knows not. He is a fool; shun him.
  He who knows not and knows that he knows not. He is a child; teach him.
  He who knows and knows that he knows. He is a king; follow him.
  The heights by great men reached and kept
  Were not attained by sudden flight,
  But they, while their companions slept,
  Were toiling upward in the night.

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

• My grandmother told me once that when you lose somebody you think you've lost the whole world as well, but that's not the way things turn out in the end. Eventually, you pick yourself up and look out the window, and once you do you see everything that was there before the world ended is out there still. There are the same apple trees and the same songbirds, and over our heads, the very same sky that shines like heaven, so far above us we can never hope to reach such heights.

• An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man; as, monachism of the Hermit Anthony, the Reformation of Luther, Quakerism of Fox, Methodism of Wesley, abolition of Clarkson. Scipio, Milton called "the height of Rome;" and all history resolves itself easily into the biography of a few stout and earnest persons. Let a man, then, know his worth, and keep things under his feet.

• if your subject is an actor, he or she will also be shorter in person than they appear onscreen. This, also, you must keep to yourself.

'You always seem larger than life in photos, but it's nice to see that in person you're just like us' might seem like a compliment, but what a star hears is 'You're stumpy, and you will lose jobs to taller people.
