A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness.
The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
Jules Verne
Patience is the virtue of an ass, who treads beneath his burden and complains not.
George Granville
After all, is football a game or a religion?
Howard Cosell
What is, is; and what ain't, ain't
Joseph E. Granville
People feel the worst film I made was 'Jack.' But to this day, when I get checks from old movies I've made, 'Jack' is one of the biggest ones. No one knows that. If people hate the movie, they hate the movie. I just wanted to work with Robin Williams.
Francis Ford Coppola
There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable for in politics there is no honour.
Benjamin Disraeli
Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
Gunther Grass
Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me - I quit.'
Bill Maher
It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.
Arthur Schopenhauer
We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.
Whatever efforts for peace President Gorbachev had in mind, they were pretty substantially undercut very swiftly by Saddam Hussein.
John Major
Information networks straddle the world. Nothing remains concealed. But the sheer volume of information dissolves the information. We are unable to take it all in.
These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.
Anthony de Mello
The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous.
Sometimes, because of my success, I am afraid that I was not a good father. With the first two I was too strong, and with the other three I was too weak.
Roberto Cavalli
If work and leisure are soon to be subordinated to this one utopian principle -- absolute busyness -- then utopia and melancholy will come to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy -- and without consciousness.
I know I have this level of celebrity, of fame, international, national, whatever you want to call it, but it's a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you're in the middle of another famous person's life and you think to yourself, 'How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we're in?'
Kevin Costner
Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand.
Believing: it means believing in our own lies. And I can say that I am grateful that I got this lesson very early.
I shall speak of how melancholy and utopia preclude one another. How they fertilize one another... of the revulsion that follows one insight and precedes the next... of superabundance and surfeit. Of stasis in progress. And of myself, for whom melancholy and utopia are heads and tails of the same coin.
Art is uncompromising and life is full of compromises.
He rose without a friend and sat down without an enemy.
Henry Gratton
It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Writing has nothing to do with communication between person and person, only with communication between different parts of a person's mind.
Rebecca West
My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.
Maya Angelou
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
Sherlock Holmes
I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.
Paulo Coelho
By trying we can easily endure adversity. Another man's, I mean.
Mark Twain
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
Yogi Berra
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Will Rogers
You can't make positive choices for the rest of your life without an environment that makes those choices easy, natural, and enjoyable.
Deepak Chopra
Extremes in nature equal ends produce In man they join to some mysterious use.
Alexander Pope
The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read With loads of learned lumber in his head.
God will never direct us to be prideful, arrogant and unforgiving, immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.
Charles Stanley
Simple can be harder than complex.
Steve Jobs
Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government.
