The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.
In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats.
English Proverb
Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind reception it meets with in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.
Jonathan Swift, The Battle of th
Why should we fear; and what? The laws? They all are armed in virtue's cause; And aiming at the self-same end, Satire is always virtue's friend.
Charles Churchill, Ghost (bk. II
Unless a love of virtue light the flame, Satire is, more than those he brands, to blame; He hides behind a magisterial air He own offences, and strips others' bare.
William Cowper, Charity (l. 490)
God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain: God is His own interpreter, And he will make it plain.
William Cowper, Light Shining ou
Variety is the very spice of life that gives it all its flavour.
William Cowper
I am monarch of all I survey,
William Cowper, The Solitude of
Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade,Where rumour of oppression and deceit,Of unsuccessful or successful war,Might never reach me more.
William Cowper, Task
The wilderness is near as well as dear to every man. Even the oldest villages are indebted to the border of wild wood which surrounds them, more than to the gardens of men. There is something indescribably inspiriting and beautiful in the aspect of the forest skirting and occasionally jutting into the midst of new towns, which, like the sand-heaps of fresh fox-burrows, have sprung up in their midst. The very uprightness of the pines and maples asserts the ancient rectitude and vigor of nature. Our lives need the relief of such a background, where the pine flourishes and the jay still screams.
Henry David Thoreau, A Week on t
He is the freeman whom the truth makes free.
William Cowper, The Task. Book v
Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice.
Francois de la Rochefoucauld, Ma
I wear my Pen as others do their Sword. To each affronting sot I meet, the word Is Satisfaction: straight to thrusts I go, And pointed satire runs him through and through.
John Oldham, Satire upon a Print
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And without sneering teach the rest to sneer; Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike, Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike; Alike reserv'd to blame, or to commend, A tim'rous foe, and a suspicious friend.
Alexander Pope, Prologue to Sati
Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.French: La satire ment sur les gens de lettres pendant leur vie, et l'eloge ment apres leur mort.
Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)
That is the essence of a witch-hunt, that any questioning of the evidence or the procedures in itself constitutes proof of complicity.
Bergen Evans
The mere abhorrence of vice is not a virtue at all.
Only reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: that what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open.
Clive Bell
It is very expensive to give bad medical care to poor people in a rich country.
Paul Farmer
Others found the implication odd that they could live their way forever- working and drinking and watching TV- and why they would want to.

Many people pray to be kept out of unexpected problems. Some people pray to be able to confront and overcome them.
Toba Beta
If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.

If the truth be known, we are on the verge of losing an entire generation of our young people, killing and dying in the streets of America
Ron Dellums
I don't know how man will fight World War III, but I do know how they will fight World War IV with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein
Astral body is also contagious and affects the surrounding objects and persons. Love emitting from our body or hate coming out of our body in form of Aura or Astral force will affect the people around.
Virchand R. Gandhi
When the truth changes from your speaking, you know you have told the truth.
Ray Blanton
I'm liking that I can throw any kind of sentence at her without worrying it's too out there.
Rachel Cohn
When people reject a truth or an untruth it is not because it is a truth or an untruth that they reject it. No, if it isn't in accord with their beliefs in the first place they simply say, Nothing doing, and refuse to inspect it.
Ogden Nash
I never weigh myself, but the brutal truth of television is that they don't employ old people or fat people.
Ruby Wax

J. Philippe Rushton
I would give ten years off the beginning of my life to see, only once, Tyrannosaurus rex come rearing up from the elms of Central Park, a Morgan police horse screaming in its jaws. We can never have enough of nature.
Edward Abbey
We felt so small with the city lights stretching forever below us, and we yelled at the top of our lungs because we were just these small humans but we felt more longing than could ever fit inside us.
Nina LaCour
Our country, if that is what we want, can now permanently radiate love, understanding, the power of the spirit and of ideas. It is precisely this glow that we can offer as our specific contribution to international politics.
Vaclav Havel
He'd only been gone two seconds, but the room got brighter when they were together, as if they were two elements that became brilliant in proximity. At Sam's clumsy efforts to carry the vacuum, Grace smiled a new smile that I thought only he ever got, and he shot her a withering look full of the sort of subtext you could only get from a lot of conversations whispered after dark.It made me think of Isabel, back at her house. We didn't have what Sam and Grace had. We weren't even close to having it. I didn't think what we had could get to this, even if you gave it a thousand years.
Maggie Stiefvater
With every fragment of rock that fall from me, I can hear the voice of Marianne Engle. I love you. Aishiteru. Ego amo te. Ti amo. Eg elska pig. Ich liebe dich. It is moving across time, coming to me in every language of the world, and it sounds like pure love.
Andrew Davidson
I wanted love to conquere all. But love can't conquere anything.It can't do anyhting on its own.It relies on us to do the conquering on its behalf.
David Levithan
When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come. They accept death with a grace that I hope I will one day be brave enough to muster.
Dean Koontz
It's like this old patchwork quilt my momma used to have...Each piece on that quilt meant something. And some of those pieces were the damn ugliest things you've ever seen...But some of the pieces were so beautiful they almost hurt my eyes to look at when I was a kid...That's the best you can hope for, Danny. That your life turns out like that patchwork quilt. That you can add some bright, sparkling pieces to the dirty, stained ones you have so far. That in the end, the bright patches might take up more space on your quilt than the dark ones.
Brooke McKinley
Life is only a brief stop on the road to eternity. Our loved ones, acquaintances, and strangers pass away before our very eyes on a daily basis. Yet each of us carries on with our lives as if we will live forever. This is merely an illusion; of course, as it is an inevitable consequence of life that each of us must die.
Jeff W. Horton
The prime minister found something hopeful in the man's eyes and manner. The 30 or so people who run this world analyze one another that way and then make decisions of life and death for us. Scary, but true.
Hugh Sidey
Moving on is easy. It's staying moved on that's trickier.
