Thinker Quotes

Norman Vincent Peale -

He therefore activates the world around him positively and strongly tends to draw back to himself positive results. This, too, is a basic law of mind action.
Norman Vincent Peale -

Arthur Schopenhauer -
I believe that pity is a law like justice, and that kindness is a duty like uprightness. That which is weak has a right to the kindness and pity of that which is strong. In the relations of man with the animals...there is a great ethic, scarcely perceived as yet, which will at length break through into the light, and which will be the corollary and the complement to humans ethics.

Friedrich Nietzsche -
I'm a very organised and rational and linear thinker and you have to stop all that to write a novel.
Hilary Mantel
