I'm continually trying to make choices that put me against my own comfort zone. As long as you're uncomfortable, it means you're growing.
The great universal family of men is a utopia worthy of the most mediocre logic.
Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont
Despair, feeding, as it always does, on phantasmagoria, is imperturbably leading literature to the rejection, en masse, of all divine and social laws, towards practical and theoretical evil.
A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned
Benjamin Franklin
Sleep is a reward for some, a punishment for others. For all, it is a sanction.
I travel in so many different ways I travel high, I rough it... it all depends on who I travel with.
Diane von Furstenberg
Do the Duty which lies nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a Duty! Thy second Duty will already have become clearer.
Thomas Carlyle
Throughout the centuries, man has considered himself beautiful. I rather suppose that man only believes in his own beauty out of pride; that he is not really beautiful and he suspects this himself; for why does he look on the face of his fellow-man with such scorn?
I paint things as they are. I don't comment. I record.
Henri De Toulouse Lautrec
The craftiest trickery are too short and ragged a cloak to cover a bad heart.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself. He only who acts conscientiously toward himself, will act so toward others.
Who has a daring eye tell downright truths and downright lies.
If you see one cold and vehement at the same time, set him down for a fanatic.
I find something repulsive about the idea of vicarious redemption. I would not throw my numberless sins onto a scapegoat and expect them to pass from me; we rightly sneer at the barbaric societies that practice this unpleasantness in its literal form. There's no moral value in the vicarious gesture anyway. As Thomas Paine pointed out, you may if you wish take on a another man's debt, or even to take his place in prison. That would be self-sacrificing. But you may not assume his actual crimes as if they were your own; for one thing you did not commit them and might have died rather than do so; for another this impossible action would rob him of individual responsibility. So the whole apparatus of absolution and forgiveness strikes me as positively immoral, while the concept of revealed truth degrades the concept of free intelligence by purportedly relieving us of the hard task of working out the ethical principles for ourselves.
Christopher Hitchens
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Edward Young
Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.
He wanted to draw out the moment before the moment- because as good as kissing feels, nothing feels as good as the anticipation of it.
John Green
My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.
Aisha Tyler
Who in the same given time can produce more than others has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.
Every family is different. I am mom and I am dad and I'm going to do my best. You should be proud, walk through life saying I have the coolest family. I am part of a modern family.
Ricky Martin
If you're lucky like me, your relationship with your brother has resolved itself on the peaceful side of the fence and has stayed there. But if you're someone who's got a family that's all fractured and finding it hard to relate, that's a very sad place to be.
Tom Hardy
Let none turn over books, or roam the stars in quest of God, who sees him not in man.
War, famine, poverty and oppression of the workers will continue while woman makes life cheap. They will cease only when she limits her reproductivity and human life is no longer a thing to be wasted.
Margaret Sanger
Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce.
Claud Cockburn
They also held that the way to salvation was to give way to lust and temptation in all things. And no greater percentage of them turned up here than of any other religion. Amusing, isn't it?
Neil Gaiman
It's a massive motor in a tiny, lightweight car.
Carroll Shelby
What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.
It is not a difficult matter to learn what it means to delight ourselves in the Lord. It is to live so as to please Him, to honor everything we find in His Word, to do everything the way He would like to have it done, and for Him.
S. Maxwell Coder
Have the courage to live. Anyone can die.
Robert Cody
World records are only borrowed.
Sebastian Coe
All pressure is self-inflicted. It's what you make of it or how you let it rub off on you.
Critics are usually kinder to cheaper movies than to those they perceive to be big Hollywood releases. They cut you a lot more slack if you spend less money, which makes no sense.
Ethan Coen
Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors.
Voltaire
War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.
Thomas Paine
With a fourth generation of nuclear power, you can have a technology that will burn more than 99 percent of the energy in the fuel. It would mean that you don't need to mine uranium for the next thousand years.
James Hansen
Many a bum show has been saved by the flag.
George M. Cohan
If you can't quite make it as a high flier then join a trampoline club.
Stephen Richards
You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.
Herb Cohen
But Vegas is really my first home.
David Copperfield
See it like it is!
Irregular contact with doctors means many men fail to receive any preventive care for potentially life-threatening conditions. In addition, when men do seek care, embarrassment can often prevent them from openly discussing health concerns with their physicians.
