There is a boundary to men's passions when they act from feelings but none when they are under the influence of imagination.
There is no way a beautiful woman can live up to what she looks like for an appreciable length of time.
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
You're waiting for someone to put you together, you're waiting for someone to push you away, there's always another wound to discover, there's always something more you wish he'd say
Vertical Horizon
We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.
Patrick Rothfuss
She is not truly beautiful but something about her draws the eye.
George R.R. Martin
He has come to the most dreadful conclusion a literary man can come to, the conclusion that the ordinary view is the right one. It is only the last and wildest kind of courage that can stand on a tower before ten thousand people and tell them that twice two is four.
G.K. Chesterton
The search for truth is not a trade by which a man can support himself; for a priest it is a supreme peril
Alfred Loisy
The venerable teachers, philosophers
Allan Lokos
Evil exists in us all, Torak. Some fight it. Some feed it. That's how it's always been.
Michelle Paver
yo te amo para comenzar a amarte,para recomenzar el infinitoy para no dejar de amarte nunca:por eso no te amo todavÃa.
Pablo Neruda
Imparting knowledge is only lighting other men's candles at our lamp without depriving ourselves of any flame.
Jane Porter
A bad manner spoils everything, even reason and justice; a good one supplies everything, gilds a No, sweetens a truth, and adds a touch of beauty to old age itself.
Baltasar Gracian
My parents took an interest in nothing, at home no books, no records. My mother and my father are the emblem of indifference, dryness and bad taste. My father is also terribly stingy, in life as well as in feelings: I have never seen him filling up the bathtub.
Vincent Gallo
When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with.
Anais Nin
Stronger than steel is the sword of the Spirit; Swifter than arrows, the light of the truth; Greater than anger is love that subdueth.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Freedom is a place, an area. It's a higher place. There are some other people that are here, and things that are here which are unseen. But you first have to set yourself free and believe in what you cannot see, believe that there is something more out there. In freedom can be found many devotions: a devotion to love, a desire to believe, a willingness to be happy, a perseverance to have peace. All these unseen things breathe and grow in the unseen soul. A free person is not an uncommitted person, but in a free person you will find a deep devotion, and a desire to be devoted to even more.
C. JoyBell C.
You're definitely a different person at different stages in your life.
Ben Harper
Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it.
You were meant for me, Poppy. I can feel it in my fingertips when I touch you.
Tess Oliver
...I am sure that when we love we are better than ourselves and when we hate, worse.
Erica Jong
Woman, in short, has an unconscious life, man a conscious life, and the genius the most conscious life.
Otto Weininger
One of my degrees was a science degree in biology.
Elizabeth Moon
That was the first major social sciences conference at which social scientists from all cultures wanted to reach a consensus on whether we can continue to pursue a national course in the social sciences or whether we need a cosmopolitan path that also connects us in a new way.
Ulrich Beck
Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse
George Bernard Shaw
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it. When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do is to know what books have treated of it. This leads us to look at catalogues, and at the backs of books in libraries.
Samuel Johnson
Only so much do I know, as I have lived
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love being in a band.
Jewel Kilcher
When we dedicate our talent to serving a neighbor, it is possibly one of the highest forms of worship; something sacred transpires when we sacrifice our time and dedicate our God-given loves and talents to one another.
Matt Litton
We see then, commodities are in love with money, but the course of true love never did run smooth.
Karl Marx
There's only truth and not truth. You're either very good or evil. I went back to my dorm and asked myself what I was. If your principles aren't grounded in absolute truth, you don't know what to think.
Christine O'Donnell
Charity consists not so much on HOW MUCH WE GIVE to the person but on HOW MUCH WE KEEP FOR OURSELVES
Gregory Ramkissoon
When I conform to truth, I do not conform to an abstract principle; I conform to the nature of God.
Kenneth L. Pike
One can spend too much of one's life locked in stuffy rooms seeking out obscure truths, searching, researching, until one is too old to enjoy life.
Jimmy Sangster
It's strange how the simple things in life go on while we become more difficult.
Richard Brautigan
They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that's true. What they don't tell you is that when it starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up.
Daniel Wallace
It is not worthwhile to try to keep history from repeating itself, for man's character will always make the preventing of the repetitions impossible
Mark Twain
I have endeavored to dissipate these religious superstitions from the minds of women, and base their faith on science and reason, where I found for myself at last that peace and comfort I could never find in the Bible and the church.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I have never ceased to wonder at the thing we call human nature, with its times of beauty and its times of filthiness, or at the level of calm stupidity that lies in between the two.
William March
You are the perfect creation of God. Don't allow you to be down. God is experiencing through you.
Amit Ray
You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if, owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to smell like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you who exchange heaven for earth. I don't want to understand you.
Anton Chekhov
Whatever the field under discussion, those who engage in debate must not only believe in each other's good faith, but also in their capacity to arrive at the truth.
W. H. Auden
