Goodness, real goodness, has it's own sort of cruelty to it.
Estate agents. You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.
Stephen Fry
You don't need a Harvard MBA to know that the bedroom and the boardroom are just two sides of the same ballgame.
The effects of our actions may be postponed but they are never lost. There is an inevitable reward for good deeds and an inescapable punishment for bad. Meditate upon this truth, and seek always to earn good wages from Destiny.
Fu Wu Ming
My parents were very permissive when it came to animals. As long as we earned the money to buy them and built whatever structure it was they were going to live in, we could have any kind of pet we wanted. They would have let us have a rhinoceros if we could have afforded it.
Maggie Stiefvater
By its very nature, the novel indicates that we are becoming. There is no final solution. There is no last word.
Carlos Fuentes
I don't want to be interesting. I want to be good.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
I'm very happy with the way I look. I wake up some morning, catch myself in the bathroom mirror, and go, 'hey girl, you're alright'. But on the other hand, I find the website stuff, and the polls, something completely removed from my own personal life. You can't take anything like that too seriously, otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin.
Cameron Diaz
Fellowship with God means warfare with the world.
Charles E. Fuller
Government is necessary for our survival. We need government in order to survive. The Founding Fathers created a special place for government. It is called the Constitution.

Never reach out your hand unless you're willing to extend an arm.

Men in earnest have no time to waste in patching fig leaves for the naked truth.
Max Fuller
A fault is sooner found than mended.
Ulpian Fulwell
Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.
Marc Fumaroli
The novel is about five students of classics who are studying with a classics professor, and they take the ideas of the things that they're learning from him a bit too seriously, with terrible consequences.
Donna Tartt
Unless you have some goals, I don't think there's any way to get above the pack. My vision was always well beyond what I had any reason to expect.
John Fuqua
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Ronald Reagan
If you want to be a winner, hang around with winners
Christopher D. Furman
I saw a drummer play once when I was a kid and I thought, that's really cool. You know, you're moving. You're using your arms and fingers. So I tried it and I loved it.
Bill Kreutzmann
I was very active in the peace movement, still am.
Margot Kidder
There is much to dislike about President Obama's approach to the financial crisis. But opposition, it seems, will have to come from somewhere other than conservatism. The party out of power is also a party out of touch.
Thomas Frank
It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like, we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.
Trey Parker
I had a lot of anger because I wasn't happy with the way I had been raised.
Patrick Swayze
All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.
Louis Armstrong
Fix'd like a plan on his peculiar spot, to draw nutrition, propagate, and rot.
Alexander Pope
One-fifth of the people are against everything all the time.
Robert Kennedy
Die and endow a college or a cat.
But thousands die without or this or that, die, and endow a college, or a cat: To some, indeed, Heaven grants the happier fate, Tenrich a bastard, or a son they hate.
Diplomats make it their business to conceal the facts.
Margaret Sanger
For virtue's self may too much zeal be had; the worst of madmen is a saint run mad.
You beat your Pate, and fancy Wit will come: Knock as you please, there's no body at home.
A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.
Wallace Stevens
Encouragement from my high school teacher Patty Hart said 'you need to focus and theater might be your route out of here.' I created the program, went to college and graduate school and now here I am.
Jeffrey Donovan
It is a fact that around the world the elites of every country are making money.
Hillary Clinton
I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.
Adolf Galland
If you can lie, you can act, and if you can lie to crazy girlfriends, you can act under pressure.
Joe Rogan
When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.
Nicolas Chamfort
The highest-income Americans don't need tax-free health insurance, mortgage interest deductions or deferred taxation on retirement funds.
Steven Rattner
Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about.
Tori Amos
Fear cannot be banished, but it can be calm and without panic it can be mitigated by reason and evaluation.
