I sense that novel of my dreams is in the Remington SL3 - although it writes much faster than I can spell. (Tom Robbins)
The further we distance ourselves from the spell of the present, explored by our senses, the harder it will be to understand and protect nature's precarious balance, let alone the balance of our own human nature. View quote
Diane Ackerman

James Weldon Johnson
If you live through the initial stage of fame and get past it, and remember thats not who you are. If you live past that, then you have a hope of maybe learning how to spell the word artist. View quote
Patrick Swayze
How much longer, for instance, can we continue to crowd more and more people into this world? How much longer can we afford to wage senseless, destructive wars? How long can we permit the uncontrolled use of the earth's resources when there is no possibility of replacing them? Indeed, how long will it be before we have completely used up everything our lives depend on? These issues are the politics of the future. Neither Republicans nor Democrats have begun to spell out in substantive fashion the means by which we can control population growth, environmental problmes, and the conservation of our natural resources.

Leo Ryan
When poetry loses its ability to enchant, it shrinks into what is just an elaborate form of argumentation. When verse casts its particular spell, it becomes the most evocative form of language. View quote
Dana Gioia
Sudden thy silent beauty on me shone, Fair as the moon had given thee all her spell. View quote
Francis William Bourdillon
The best of artists hath no thought to show, which the rough stone in its superfluous shell, doth not include to break the marble spell, is all the hand that serves the brain can do. View quote
Michelangelo
O, we all long for the day, the blessed day, when freedom shall at least be co-extensive with Christendom; when a slave political or domestic, shall not tread on an atom upon which the cross of Calvary has cast its shadow; when the baptism of the crucified shall be on every brow, the seal of a heavenly sonship; when the fire of a new Pentecost shall melt asunder, by its divine heat of charity, the bond which wrong or prejudice has fastened; when, to touch any spot over the wide sweep of God's Christianized earth, any spot which the gospel of the Saviour has ever visited, which the name of the Saviour has ever sanctified, shall be, in itself, the spell of a complete deliverance, the magic of a perfect franchise. View quote
Henry Giles
In all the houses keys to memorizing objects and feelings had been written. But the system demanded so much vigilance and moral strength that many succumbed to the spell of an imaginary reality, one invented by themselves, which was less practical for them but more comforting. View quote
Gabriel García Márquez
Without haste without rest Bind the motto to thy breast Bear it with thee as a spell Storm or sunshine, guard it well. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Not to say people shouldn't get rich from art. I adore the alchemy wherein artists who cast a complex spell make rich people give them their money. (Just writing it makes me cackle.) But too many artists have been making money without magic. View quote
Jerry Saltz
I use a pseudonym, because my real name is very difficult to pronounce, to remember, and to spell. And many people who have been talking about me on television have yet to pronounce it correctly. View quote
Jeff Gannon
If I haven't made my point clear, let me just spell it out: don't. This is absolutely awful. View quote
TotalBiscuit
They deny good luck, love, power, romance, and inspiration From La Jac Brite ointment and incense of all kinds, And condemn in writing skin brightening and whitening and whitening of minds. There is upon the federal trade commission a burden of glory So to defend the fact, so to impel The plucking of hope from the hand, honor from the complexion, Sprite from the spell. View quote
Josephine Miles
I still can't spell anything, but I can bust out two-dollar words. View quote
Drew Barrymore
The non-Christian can put no question which is not necessarily that of the Christian dogmatician as well. ... In solidarity with the non-Christian, he has no prior knowledge. He must begin from the very beginning with no presupposed consciousness of God. He must learn to spell out the message which comes to him as to every man. View quote
Helmut Gollwitzer
I respect a man who knows how to spell a word more than one way. View quote
Mark Twain
Kierkegaard said that the only way we can be released from the enchantment, the siren song of the myths, is to play the music through backwards. To break the spell of the ego I must recover my personal and political history, I must demythologize the private, family, and public myths that have informed me. View quote
Sam Keen
Cognition is autonomous; it refuses to have any answers foisted on it from the outside. Yet it suffers without protest having certain questions prescribed to it from the outside (and it is here that my heresy regarding the unwritten law of the university originates). Not every question seems to me worth asking. Scientific curiosity and omnivorous aesthetic appetite mean equally little to me today, though I was once under the spell of both, particularly the latter. Now I only inquire when I find myself inquired of. View quote
Franz Rosenzweig
Xerox did OK in moving to digital in the commercial space. They didn't do well in the consumer market, but they're not a consumer brand. They don't even know how to spell consumer. (Antonio Perez)
If we are to survive today, our moral and spiritual "lag" must be eliminated. Enlarged material powers spell enlarged peril if there is not proportionate growth of the soul. When the "without" of man's nature subjugates the "within", dark storm clouds begin to form in the world. View quote
Martin Luther King Jr.
The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed. View quote
J. R. R. Tolkien
Great orators who are not also great writers become very indistinct shadows to the generations following them. The spell vanishes with the voice. View quote
Thomas Bailey Aldrich
I hold that a man has as much right to spell a word as it is pronounced as he has to pronounce it the way it ain't spelled. View quote
Josh Billings
