I actually never knew Peter Green but I do respect his early work very much.
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul? Man is a depth still greater than the people. Jean Valjean at that very moment was the prey of a terrible upheaval. Every sort of gulf had opened again within him. He als
Victor Hugo
What we actually learn, from any given set of circumstances, determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful.
Blaine Lee
Some spend their entire lives wondering if they have made a difference in this world. The Marines don't have that problem.
Ronald Reagan
Words were weapons, his father had taught him that, and he'd wanted to hurt Clary more than he'd ever wanted to hurt any girl. In fact, he wasn't sure he had ever wanted to hurt a girl before. Usually he just wanted them, and then he wanted them to leave him alone.
Cassandra Clare
All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day.
Franklin P. Jones

George Soros
Oigo voces en mi cabeza, y si no recuerdo mal, lo he hecho siempre.
Stephen King
He who puts out his hand to stop the wheel of history will have his fingers crushed.
Lech Walesa
We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.
Max de Pree
Tiny: You know what's a great metaphor for love? Me: I have a feeling you're about to tell me... Tiny: Sleeping beauty... because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty, and even then, when you get there, you still have to wake her up.
John Green
Women love to be called cruel, even when they are kindest.
Samuel Richardson
The way to become boring is to say everything.
Voltaire
Some say that because the United States was wrong before, it cannot possibly be right now, or has not the right to be right. (The British Empire sent a fleet to Africa and the Caribbean to maintain the slave trade while the very same empire later sent another fleet to enforce abolition. I would not have opposed the second policy because of my objections to the first; rather it seems to me that the second policy was morally necessitated by its predecessor.)
Christopher Hitchens
I'd like to have a family.
Maria Sharapova
I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.
Arthur C. Clarke
You could hear the wind in the leaves, and on that wind traveled the screams of the kids on the playground in the distance, little kids figuring out how to be alive, how to navigate a world that wasn't made for them by navigating a playground that was.
My cousins gay, in school while other kids were dissecting frog, he was opening flies.
Rodney Dangerfield
Every year, many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
Jodi Picoult
When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know what he himself means, that is philosophy
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus
My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Trout was petrified there on Forty-second Street. It had given him alife not worth living, but I had also given him an iron will to live. Thiswas a common combination on the planet Earth.
Kurt Vonnegut
You will remember how, as a schoolboy, I had destroyed my religious life by a vicious subjectivism which made 'realizations' the aim of prayer; turning away from God to seek states of mind, and trying to produce those states of mind by 'maistry'.
C.S. Lewis
I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.
Men must endureTheir going hence, even as their coming hither.Ripeness is all.
William Shakespeare
Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle.
Benjamin Franklin
The soul can not think without a picture.
Aristotle
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The endearing elegance of female friendship.
Samuel Johnson
If man could be crossed with a cat, it would improve man but deteriorate the cat.
Mark Twain
Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet.
But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
George Eliot
But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. [...] True sorrow is as rare as true love.
In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. (Mr. Dumby, Act III)
Oscar Wilde
Conscientious people are apt to see their duty in that which is the most painful course.
The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
Albert Einstein
Accept yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, your truths, and know what tools you have to fulfill your purpose.
Steve Maraboli
A lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right.
If art does not enlarge men's sympathies, it does nothing morally.
