Friendship has always belonged to the core of my spiritual journey.
For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.
Queen Victoria
Men never think, at least seldom think, what a hard task it is for us women to go through this very often. God's will be done, and if He decrees that we are to have a great number of children why we must try to bring them up as useful and exemplary members of society.
Without knowledge of what I am and why I am here, it is impossible to live, and since I cannot know that, I cannot live either. In an infinity of time, in an infinity of matter, and an infinity of space a bubble-organism emerges while will exist for a little time and then burst, and that bubble am I.
Leo Tolstoy
The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.
I don't dislike babies, though I think very young ones rather disgusting.
Angels and ministers of grace defend us.Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damned,Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell,Be thy intents wicked, or charitable,Thou com'st in such a questionable shape,That I will speak to thee.
William Shakespeare
He speaks to Me as if I was a public meeting.
I positively think that ladies who are always enceinte quite disgusting; it is more like a rabbit or guinea-pig than anything else and really it is not very nice.
The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them; before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you ever heard it? Can you remember?
C.S. Lewis
I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted to reign; at least it is they that drive themselves to the work which it entails.
The men of the period of corruption are witty and calumnious; they know that there are yet other ways of murdering than by the dagger and ambush--they know also that all that is well said is believed in.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The poor fatherless baby of eight months is now the utterly broken-hearted and crushed widow of forty-two! My life as a happy one is ended! the world is gone for me! If I must live on (and I will do nothing to make me worse than I am), it is henceforth for our poor fatherless children -- for my unhappy country, which has lost all in losing him -- and in only doing what I know and feel he would wish.
(Just to give you an idea, Proust's reply was 'To be separated from Mama.') I think that the lowest depth of misery ought to be distinguished from the highest pitch of anguish. In the lower depths come enforced idleness, sexual boredom, and/or impotence. At the highest pitch, the death of a friend or even the fear of the death of a child.
Christopher Hitchens
What's the difference between the music of my generation and today s. Our songs were about Love and Romance, today's music is chiefly about sex; which I might add gets a little boring.
David A. Vigilanti
Anything done for another is done for oneself.
Pope Boniface VIII
Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something. Last words of Pancho Villa
Pancho Villa
Your bottom line starts with your front line.
John Villere
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
George Villiers
The world's a forest, in which all lose their way; though by a different path each goes astray.
We were two and had but one heart between us.
Francois de Montcorbier Villon
Ideas are the factors that lift civilization. They create revolutions. There is more dynamite in an idea than in many bombs.
John H. Vincent
Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.
Vinet
Truth never hurts the teller.
Robert Browning
She remembered the story from her childhood, about Adam and Eve in the garden, and the talking snake. Even as a little girl she had said - to the consternation of her family - What kind of idiot was Eve, to believe a snake? But now she understood, for she had heard the voice of the snake and had watched as a wise and powerful man had fallen under its spell.Eat the fruit and you can have the desires of your heart. It's not evil, it's noble and good. You'll be praised for it.And it's delicious.
Orson Scott Card
Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.
All is one, all is different. How many natures exist in man? How many vocations? And by what chance does each man ordinarily choose what he has heard praised?
Blaise Pascal
There will be today, there will be tomorrow, there will be always, and there was yesterday, and there was the day before...
I don't want to be a genius - I have enough problems just trying to be a man
Albert Camus
Since Alice had never received any religious instruction, and since she had led a blameless life, she never thought of her awful luck as being anything but accidents in a very busy place. Good for her.
Kurt Vonnegut
Les bras d'une mère sont faits de tendresse et un doux sommeil benit l'enfant qui s'y abandonne.
Victor Hugo
The narrator, a time traveler from 2011, scoffs at the despondency caused by the Cuban Missile Crisis -- especially the drug and alcohol use of a resident of 1962 he supposedly cares about. Then he finds his compassion because he remembers he is the exception in being able to see beyond the immediate -- and foreboding -- horizon.
Stephen King
Often it does seem such a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.
Mark Twain
Trees that grow in smoggy cities are needed to make carbonpaper.
Steven Wright
So with curious eyes and sick surmiseWe watched him day by day,And wondered if each one of usWould end the self-same way,For none can tell to what red HellHis sightless soul may stray.
Oscar Wilde
In Vanya's family, silence had never meant surrender, only tactical retreat.
How much greater confidence has an advocate, retained with a large fee, in the justice of his cause! How much better does his bold manner make his case appear to the judges, deceived as they are by appearances! How ludicrous is reason, blown with a breath in every direction!
Really, he thought, if you couldn't trust a poet to offer sensible advice, who could you trust?
Neil Gaiman
It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas when the Great Creator was a child himself.
Charles Dickens
All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think.
A person who has spoiled his stomach will criticize his meal saying that the food is bad; the same thing happens with people who are not satisfied with their lives.
