I am blessed or cursed, depending on how you look at it, with an incurably restless spirit and the ability to work hard.
The fruit derived from labor is the sweetest of pleasures.
The lazy are always wanting to do something.
Necessity relieves us from the embarrassment of choice.
We don't have enough time to premeditate our actions.
There are those who are so scrupulously afraid of doing wrong that they seldom venture to do anything.
None are more liable to mistakes than those who act only on second thoughts.
I'm 45 years old. I used to be a club girl, but that's not my world anymore. That doesn't mean I can't make music that excites. I think it's inspiring to see an artist you grew up with take another crack.
I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long against marriage: but doth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humour? No, the world must be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.
Democracy is not a static thing. It is an everlasting march.
One of the things I have become aware of through the years is how much I love the people I write about.
