Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
You know you've got problems when your head is hanging over the toilet, puking up your dinner, and what you're thinking of is your dad. And how he thinks you're not pretty.
Teresa Lo
Most of the pathetic scenes in almost everybody's life are scenes unnoted by anyone and totally disregarded by the person in question.
John Cowper Powys
When Western civilization invaded the Near and Far East and what is now called the Third World it imposed its own ideas of a proper environment and a rewarding life. Doing this, it disrupted the delicate patterns of adaptation and created problems that had not existed before.
Paul Karl Feyerabend
If life had a second edition, how I would correct the proofs.
John Clare
Beauty has wings, and too hastily flies, And love, unrewarded, soon sickens and dies.

Annette Bridges
Even the company of the mad was better than the company of the dead.
Stephen King
When a man is in love how can he use old words? Should a woman desiring her lover lie down with grammarians and linguists? I said nothing to the woman I loved but gathered love's adjectives into a suitcase and fled from all languages.
Nizar Qabbani
The only credential the city asked was the boldness to dream. For those who did, it unlocked its gates and its treasures, not caring who they were or where they came from.
Moss Hart

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thank you father, thank you. I know you watched me from above and protected me. I promise I shall serve the Magnarian Confederation with all my body and soul. I shall dedicate myself fully to our confederation, the family that you so loved. And I love it too. I shall protect, love and respect it always. This is my promise and commitment. Thank you

Yo no nacà dichoso. De niño, mi himno favorito era: «Cansado del mundo y con el peso de mis pecados». A los cinco años yo pensaba que si habÃa de vivir setenta no habÃa pasado aún más que la catorceava parte de mi vida vital, y me parecÃa casi insoportable la enorme cantidad de aburrimiento que me aguardaba. En la adolescencia la vida me era odiosa, y estaba continuamente al borde del suicidio, del cual me libré gracias al deseo de saber más matemáticas. Hoy, por el contrario, gusto de la vida, y casi estoy por decir que cada año que pasa la encuentro más gustosa. Esto es debido, en parte, a haber descubierto cuáles eran las cosas que deseaba más y haber adquirido gradualmente muchas de ellas. En parte es debido también a haberme desprendido, felizmente, de ciertos deseos (la adquisición del conocimiento indudable acerca de algo) como esencialmente inasequibles. Pero en la mayor parte se debe a la preocupación, cada dÃa menor, de mà mismo.
Bertrand Russell
The security of Society lies in custom and unconscious instinct, and the basis of the stability of Society, as a healthy organism, is the complete absence of any intelligence amongst its members.
Oscar Wilde
This twofold nature of man is so evident that some have thought that we had two souls. A single subject seemed to them incapable of such sudden variations from unmeasured presumption to a dreadful dejection of heart.
Blaise Pascal
The hard core of morality and even of religion seems to me to be just what makes good comedy possible...Where there is no norm, nothing can be ridiculous, except for a brief moment of unbalanced provincialism in which we may laugh at the merely unfamiliar. Unless there is something about which the author is never ironical, there can be no true irony in the work.
C.S. Lewis
The best movies are simple.
Shia LaBeouf
For a man who has compared himself to Theodore Roosevelt and the nation's challenges to those of the Gilded Age, Obama put forward a tepid agenda.
Ron Fournier
The quality of a really virtuous person is to be unknown to people, or misunderstood by people, but not to be disappointed by this.
Leo Tolstoy
Difference of opinion is the one crime which kings never forgive
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The money that goes into Social Security is not the government's money. it's your money. You paid for it.
Mitch McConnell
The speed of communication, the speed of information transfer, the cheapness of communication, the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree.
Paul A. Volcker
The debt-ceiling vote isn't about what will be done in the future it is about the integrity of America's commitment to support the bonds we issue. Elected officials have an obligation to maintain that integrity, regardless of whether they voted for the programs that required the borrowing in the first place.
John Sununu
Manners are more important than laws and upon them, to a great deal, the law depends.

Silver surfers ... nah, that's old hat. Retire a gold surfer with Cosmic Ordering.
Stephen Richards
You is kind. You is smart. You is important.
Kathryn Stockett
As a former recipient of these services I can honestly say that the overwhelming majority of TANF recipients are hard-working Americans who are down on their luck, and just want an opportunity to better their lives and those of their family through work and access to education.
Gwen Moore
Don't let yourself slip and get any perfect characters... keep them people, people, people, and don't let them get to be symbols.
Ernest Hemingway
Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.
Tax not so bad a voice to slander music any more than once.
The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
Paulo Coelho
