Weihnachtsbaum in der Telefonzelle Fühlst du dich auch manchmal so, wie der eingesperrte Weihnachtsbaum der nicht leuchtet? Oder leuchtest du nur in der Nacht? Komm aus deiner Telefonzelle heraus. Du musst kein Weihnachtsbaum sein, als lebendiger Baum bist du viel wertvoller. Lass dich nicht einsperren.

The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there.

Sometimes I wish I was poetic and subtle. I write very bold and blunt and tell it like it is.

Mr. Obama has an ingenious approach to job losses: He describes them as job gains.

The shortest answer is doing.

One of the greatest gifts my brother and I received from my mother was her love of literature and language. With their boundless energy, libraries open the door to these worlds and so many others. I urge young and old alike to embrace all that libraries have to offer.

There's no doubt that the Moon is more than a handy night light and a hair restorer for werewolves. It's responsible for the substantial amplitude of earthly ocean tides. These are of obvious influence if you're a geoduck, a type of clam that people dig up at low tide.

Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.

Writing can be an incredible mindfulness practice.

I got hit by the bug of reading - not via a person, but via the one-room library in our small town. I remember that the children's books were in the right-hand corner near the floor. Often when I went there, I was the only visitor.

We must fall in love with yourselves. I don’t like myself. I’m crazy about myself.

Many of the lessons we are to learn in mortality can only be received through the things we experience and sometimes suffer. And God expects and trusts us to face temporary mortal adversity with His help so we can learn what we need to learn and ultimately become what we are to become in eternity.

I tend to follow a scattershot approach to reading a lot of very diverse subjects interest me, and I'm quite happy to read stuff on any of them.

Building a company isn't that different from climbing a big mountain. You need people helping you traverse treacherous paths and to lift you up when you fall.

I've never studied anything formally. I was excluded from school at the age of 17, so I am an autodidact, which is a word that I have taught myself.

As a young actor, I played a lot of 'exotic' parts and was stuck with the tag 'sultry.' I had to refuse such parts if I were ever to play anything else. It did the trick, but my agent feared it made me harder to cast.

In a separation its the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.

Also, I think women really come into their own in their 30s.

Men are rarely questioned on their spouses or their partners, and nor should they be. And the question to ask is why is this done to women?

When I diced vegetables, it was painstaking work to make sure that every single piece looked the same: 1/4-inch cubed for small, 3/4-inch cubed for large. It's a matter of practice and precision.
