Bob Marley
England awake awake awake Jerusalem thy sister calls Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death And close her from thy ancient walls.
William Blake
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

In all cultures, it is the task of a religion to close the field of contingency ...and to set up havens of the absolute where it is possible to be led from acting to listening, from having to being, from planning to hoping, from judging to forgiving - from the finite into the infinite. A society in which such open spaces of eternity do not exist or are only insufficiently developed dies of itself due to lack of air to breathe.
Eugen Drewermann
Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.
Molière
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Leo Tolstoy
Forth from his dark and lonely hiding-place, (Portentous sight) the owlet Atheism, sailing on obscene wings athwart the noon, drops his blue-fringed lids, and holds them close, and hooting at the glorious sun in Heaven, cries out, ''Where is it''
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The business of the English commander-in-chief being first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible) and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Horatio Nelson
Do I not damage my enemies after i make them my close friends?
Abraham Lincoln
The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.
Pope John Paul II

Neal Barnard
When rock & roll is done with that fervor, it's close to gospel.
Paul Stanley
Rabbits live close to death and when death comes closer than usual, thinking about survival leaves little room for anything else.
Richard Adams
I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.
