As a child I prayed that my calling be revealed – but not with expectation and not with a destination. I became an artist because I didn’t know what to do and I thought it was really fun to make things. Kiki Smith Read Quote
When we have a good balance between thinking and feeling… our actions and lives are always the richer for it. Yitzhak Shamir Read Quote
We Were the Mulvaneys’ is perhaps the novel closest to my heart. I think of it as a valentine to a passing way of American life, and to my own particular child – and girlhood in upstate New York. Everyone in the novel is enormously close to me, including Marianne’s cat, Muffin, who was in fact my own cat. Joyce Carol Oates Read Quote

It’s really funny to me that I get called a workhorse or somebody who’s really good at making other people better in the ring. I feel like I’m good at every aspect of this. I feel like I’m a great talker; I feel like I’m a great representative of the company. I broke records in college. I have an amateur background with fighting skills. Dolph Ziggler Read Quote
