    Ashly Lorenzana
    “There is nothing worse than having an enemy who is a total loser. It's incredibly frustrating when seeking revenge against one, because you come to the realization that there is really nothing you can do to make the person's life worse than it already is. They have nothing to take, there is no way to screw them over if you have been their victim. It's maddening.”
    Ashly Lorenzana

    Elie Wiesel
    “I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
    Elie Wiesel

    Miguel Ruiz
    “Don't take anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering”
    Don Miguel Ruiz

    Elizabeth Wurtzel
    “Love is rather impotent and pitiful: My father must have told me a million times how much he loved me, but that emotion - assuming it was even real - hardly had the strength to counter the many other acts of wrong he committed against me. Contrary to romance novels and the love-conquers-all mentality that even those of us who grow up in an era of divorce are - in response to some atavistic instinct - still raised to believe, love is always a product and a victim of circumstances. It is fragile and small. ”
    Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation

    Leonard Peikoff
    “An individual can be hurt in countless ways by other men's irrationality, dishonesty, injustice. Above all, he can be disappointed, perhaps grievously, by the vices of a person he had once trusted or loved. But as long as his property is not expropriated and he remains unmolested physically, the damage he sustains is essentially spiritual, not physical; in such a case, the victim alone has the power and the responsibility of healing his wounds. He remains free: free to think, to learn from his experiences, to look elsewhere for human relationships; he remains free to start afresh and to pursue his happiness.”
    Leonard Peikoff, Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali
    “I would like to be judged on the validity of my arguments, not as a victim.”
    Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel

    Shirley MacLaine
    “We are not victims of the world we see, we are victims of the way we see the world.”
    Shirley MacLaine

    “You have so mamy different personas. The one i meet in Dublin, the one who speaks on the phone. 
    There are a few other bonos: the one who writes in the morning, the one who performs in front of crowds, the one who addresses U.S congressmen, and of course the one who now sits on the board of elevation partners. 
    Of course the same person shelters all those different roles.

    All art is an attempt to identify yourself. You try out many different characters on the way to finding the one that most fits you, and therefore is you. I mean, all children do. I'm adolescence, you see them trying out different sides of their personality. So I'm just exploring and trying to find out what I'm capable of.”
    Michka Assayas, Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas

    A.J. Darkholme
    “The most inefficient and self-harming thing a person can do is go out looking for love. Let it find you when the time is right and you're out doing what you love to do. Only then will you find it in its truest form.”
    A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

    There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable
    “There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.”
    Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

    Tony Benn
    “Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.”
    Tony Benn

    Diane Arbus
    “For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.”
    diane arbus

  • #13
    Joan Bauer
    “Guys don't understand great art. They don't care that sometimes the camera has power beyond the photographer to record emotion that only the heart can see. They're threatened when the camera jumps ahead of me. Todd Kovich was pissed when I brought my Nikon to the prom, but I'd missed too many transcendent shots over the years to ever take a chance of missing one again. A prom, I told him, had a boundless supply of photogenic bozos who could be counted on to do something base.”
    Joan Bauer, Thwonk

    Blue GhostGhost
    “You think too much and I bet it kills the magic," he says simply. "Some things are just instinct and if you try and replace that with thinking they die. You can read and think as much as you want before and after, but in the moment, man, you have to, like, let go.”
    Blue GhostGhost, Art Criticism

    Katja Michael
    “No, you don't shoot things. You capture them. Photography means painting with light. And that's what you do. You paint a picture only by adding light to the things you see.”
    Katja Michael

  • #17
    Kate Morton
    “It's a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future; moments that should have been allowed to evaporate with the past, should exist only in memories glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photography forces us to see people before their future weighed down on them. Before they knew their endings.”
    Kate Morton, The House at Riverton

  • #18
    Nan Goldin
    “I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.”
    Nan Goldin

  • #19
    Rivera Sun
    “All photos speak a thousand words. This one contained a library.”
    Rivera Sun, Steam Drills, Treadmills and Shooting Stars - a story of our times -

    Lisa Kleypas
    “I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
    Lisa Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil

    I love mankind ... it's people I can't stand!!
    “I love mankind ... it's people I can't stand!!”
    Charles M. Schulz

    Jane Austen
    “I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.”
    Jane Austen, Jane Austen's Letters

    Oscar Wilde
    “Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.”
    Oscar Wilde

    C. JoyBell C.
    “There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    Jonathan Safran Foer
    “One day you will do things for me that you hate. That is what it means to be family.”
    Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

    Erma Bombeck
    “When your mother asks, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it's a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway.”
    Erma Bombeck

  • #28
    Marc Wambolt
    “I may not always be with you
    But when we're far apart
    Remember you will be with me
    Right inside my heart”
    Marc Wambolt, Poems from the Heart

  • #29
    Jim  Butcher
    “I don't care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching--they are your family.”
    Jim Butcher, Proven Guilty

  • #30
    Kristin Hannah
    “As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.”
    Kristin Hannah, Summer Island

  • #31
    Mitch Albom
    “I also believe that parents, if they love you, will hold you up safely, above their swirling waters, and sometimes that means you'll never know what they endured, and you may treat them unkindly, in a way you otherwise wouldn't.”
    Mitch Albom, For One More Day

  • #32
    Sarah Dessen
    “Family isn’t something that’s supposed to be static, or set. People marry in, divorce out. They’re born, they die. It’s always evolving, turning into something else.”
    Sarah Dessen, Lock and Key
