"...each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden - forbidden for him. It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vice versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet."	Herman Hesse
"...since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned."	John Holt
"A Book of Verses undeneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread – and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness- Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!"	Omar Khayyám
"A boy is a magical creature you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can't get him out of your mind. Might as well give up he is your captor, your jailer, your boss and your master a freckled-faced, pint-sized, cat-chasing bundle of noise. But when you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words Hi, Dad!"	Alan Marshall Beck
"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity."	Robert Hall
"A high heart ought to bear calamities and not flee them, since in bearing them appears the grandeur of the mind and in fleeing them the cowardice of the heart."	Pietro Aretino
"A lively, disinterested, persistent looking for truth is extraordinarily rare. Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not to be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism or doubt."	Henri-Frédéric Amiel
"A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them."	Elbert Hubbard
"A man who enjoys responsibility usually gets it. A man who merely likes exercising authority usually loses it."	Malcolm Stevenson Forbes
"A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive."	Pearl Bailey
"A rising tide lifts all boats."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire."	Lido Anthony "Lee" Iacocca
"Above all, I would teach him to tell the truth ... Truth-telling, I have found, is the key to responsible citizenship. The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common: Every single one was a liar."	J(ohn) Edgar Hoover
"Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation…. It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
"Acceptance. It is the true thing everyone longs for. The one thing everyone craves. To walk in a room and to be greeted by everyone with hugs and smiles. And in that small passing moment, you truly know you're loved, needed, and accepted."	Rena Harmon
"Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant."	Glenda Jackson
"Advertising is like learning -- a little is a dangerous thing."	P(hineas) T(aylor) Barnum
"Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into, the mind."	Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
