A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Khalil Gibran
If we really want to be full and generous in spirit, we have no choice but to trust at some level.
Rita Dove
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
Oscar Wilde
I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, 'What for?' I said, 'I'm going to buy some sugar.'
Steven Wright

I learned the value of hard work by working hard.
Margaret Mead
Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility.
Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
Wendell Willkie
In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.
The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.
He had that curious love of green, which in individuals is always the sign of a subtle artistic temperament, and in nations is said to denote a laxity, if not a decadence of morals.
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
Albert Einstein
My name is James Edward Franco. Ted is a nickname for Edward. That's what my parents called me. I also got 'Teddy Ruxpin' a lot. It just got to a point where I got sick of it, so when a teacher called out 'James Franco' my junior year of high school, I didn't correct her.
James Franco
We must return to nature and nature's god.
Luther Burbank
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the two sexes.
All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.
Otto Dix
When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth it is the beginning of disorder.
Lao Tzu
It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
A man's very highest moment is, I have no doubt at all, when he kneels in the dust, and beats his breast, and tells all the sins of his life.
Beauty has a lot to do with character.
Kevyn Aucoin
Who is that man over there? I don't know him. What is he doing? Is he a conspirator? Have you searched him? Give him till tomorrow to confess, then hang him! -- hang him!
When my dad toured in '91, I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome, 50,000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12, or 13.
Dhani Harrison
The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.
We were united not only by political respect for each other, but also by deep mutual sympathy as people.
Helmut Kohl
Humor is the most engaging cowardice.
Robert Frost
Talk to every woman as if you loved her, and to every man as if he bored you, and at the end of your first season you will have the reputation of possessing the most perfect social tact.
People need jobs, people need happy and successful lives there should be marriage between one man and one woman, there should the value of person from conception until natural death.
Alveda King
Conversation should touch everything, but should concentrate itself on nothing.
I binge when I'm happy. When everything is going really well, every day is like I'm at a birthday party.
Kirstie Alley

To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin Luther
The true critic is he who bears within himself the dreams and ideas and feelings of myriad generations, and to whom no form of thought is alien, no emotional impulse obscure.
That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one's own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography.
Temperament is the primary requisite for the critic -- a temperament exquisitely susceptible to beauty, and to the various impressions that beauty gives us.
The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
Will Smith
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
