Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I'm not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.
What really fascinates me is this need that is so strong now that if you read a work of the imagination you instantly have to say, 'Oh, what this really is is so-and-so,' reducing it to a simple formula.
Doris Lessing
For a mans house is his castle, & domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium; for where shall a man be safe, if it be not in his house?
Sir Edward Coke
We need international support so that our people live a life of normality, of dignity, of liberty and freedom. I hope that our cry for freedom may be heard.
Mahmoud Abbas
It is therefore necessary that memorable things should be committed to writing, and not wholly betaken i. e. , committed to slippery memory which seldom yields a certain reckoning.
There is no jewel in the world comparable to learning; no learning so excellent both for Prince and subject, as knowledge of laws; and no knowledge of any laws so necessary for all estates and for all causes, concerning goods, lands or life, as the common laws of England.
The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class-it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.
Anna Julia Cooper
And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.
C.S. Lewis
Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? They have the same enemy -- the mother.
Claudette Colbert
The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing.
J. B. Colbert
Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.
Benjamin Carson
You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.
Edwin Louis Cole
In LA, I mean, here's this place full of desperate and sad people who take their only pleasure from destroying others for the purposes of their own self-aggrandizement.
Heather Donahue
You are only as wise as others perceive you to be.
M. Shawn Cole
In our society any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death
Albert Camus
What you think of me is none of my business.
Terry ColeWhittaker
There was something peculiarly gratifying about shouting in a blind rage until your words ran out. Of course, the aftermath was less pleasant. Once you'd told everyone you hated them and not to come after you, where exactly did you go?
Cassandra Clare
I cannot believe that this country cannot come together around some values what these kids need is a moral life... the issue is not ideas, it is conduct. The real question is how we reach these young people morally, and what do we bring to them.
Robert Coles
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
The only thing worse than having a party that no one attends is having a party attended only by two vastly, deeply uninteresting people.
John Green
When a truth is not given complete freedom, freedom is not complete.
Vaclav Havel
Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: It's four o clock. At five I have my abyss...
When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest things we can know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
I love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books, I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me, and I spent a year, or a year and a half of my life working on it.
Stephen King
And what a delight it is to make friends with someone you have despised.
When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy--that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.
Mark Twain
The kitchen really is the castle itself. This is where we spend our happiest moments and where we find the joy of being a family.
Mario Batali
But just as delicate fare does not stop you from craving for saveloys, so tried and exquisite friendship does not take away your taste for something new and dubious.
The real problem with stories - if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death
Neil Gaiman
My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.
If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.
Shelley Long
There is no need to waste pity on young girls who are having their moments of disillusionment, for in another moment they will recover their illusion.
Men marched away, Vimes. And men marched back. How glorious the battles would have been that they never had to fight!
Terry Pratchett
In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness.
When you initially forgive, it is like letting go of a hot iron. There is initial pain and the scars will show, but you can start living again.
Stephen Richards
I am conscious of my inability to grasp, in all its details and positive developments, any very large portion of human knowledge.
Mikhail Bakunin
Can it be that chance has made me one of those women so immersed in one man that, whether they are barren or not, they carry with them to the grave the shriveled innocence of an old maid?
The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not.
