A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
Grant me some wild expressions, Heavens, or I shall burst.
George Farquhar
An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.
Jean Cocteau
We love the precepts for the teacher's sake.
My father invented a cure for which there was no disease and unfortunately my mother caught it and died of it.
Victor Borge
I am no romantic glorifier of the Spanish woman, nor did I ever think of a casual piece as anything much other than a casual piece in any country. But when I am with Maria I love her so that I feel, literally, as though I would die and I never believed in that or thought that it could happen.
Ernest Hemingway
Observe this, that tho a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she's still virtuous; that's a maxim.
I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct relation to Roman jurisprudence but I do claim that it has its basis in the laws of nature rather than in the state of nature.
Herbert Read
Never praise your Cider, Horse, or Bedfellow
Benjamin Franklin
We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.
A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you wish to converse with me, define your terms
Voltaire
Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.
Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
Austin Farrar
As long as we're together, I'm ready for anything.
Cassandra Clare
I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.
Lucinda Williams
One's liberty should end when it becomes the curse of his neighbor.
Frederick Farrar
Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.
Jonathan Sacks
We tend to think of future inventions and discoveries, but in reality, these things already exist in the knowledge bank of the universe.
Stephen Richards
Do you suffer your thoughts to tamper with evil; and to dally with wrong-doing? If so; you are not sincere. God will regard your thoughts; for thoughts are heard in heaven. If you willingly sin in thought; if you are base and guilty there; because you think that no eye will see your thoughts; the guilt and baseness will sooner or later break into the outlets of word and deed -- from thought to wish -- from wish to purpose -- from purpose to word -- from word to act -- from act to habit -- from delight in the imagination to consent in the will -- from deed to repeated transgression; such is the genesis of sin.
There's always a part of your nation's history that you haven't been told that... has a powerful impact on how you yourself may behave and may believe.
Barbara Kingsolver
It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.
C.S. Lewis
No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. Oh, understand those two perverted word, failure and success and measure them by the eternal, not the earthly, standard. When after thirty obscure, toilsome, unrecorded years in the shop of the village carpenter, one came forth to be pre-eminently the man of sorrows, to wander from city to city in homeless labors, and to expire in lonely agony upon the shameful cross -- was that a failure.
The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.
The first thing an unpublished author should remember is that no one asked him to write in the first place. With this firmly in mind, he has no right to become discouraged just because other people are being published.
John Farrar
People are fed up with the politics where candidates just rip each other apart and then the voters lose in the end because no one really knows what anybody stands for.
Dennis Kucinich
Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong.
David Fasold
With 'Bright Star' and with 'The Piano,' too, I felt a kind of sadness about it being in such a different era, because of my lack of experience with the era. And one of the ways I'd get over it is to remind myself that every film, even if it's contemporary, creates its own world.
Jane Campion
I remember committing myself to make it in the garbage business, whatever it takes!
Tom Fatjo
It is obvious that 'obscenity' is not a term capable of exact legal definition in the practice of the Courts, it means 'anything that shocks the magistrate.'
Bertrand Russell
Intelligence is that faculty of mind, by which order is perceived in a situation previously considered disordered.
Haneef Fatmi
Others have done it before me. I can, too.
Corporal John Faunce
Not an inch of our territory not a stone of our fortress.
Jules Favre
At some glad moment was it nature's choice to dower a scrap of sunset with a voice?
Edgar Fawcett
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.
Guy Fawkes
People love others not for who they are, but for how they make them feel.
Irwin Federman
How do you tell a communist Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Ronald Reagan
And from a military school which taught me that to fit into society, you can't just do anything you damn well please because it will suit you. And that it's much better to be with the winners than it is with the losers.
Sam Donaldson
Don't count your owls before they are delivered.
J.K. Rowling
Sometimes God writes straightforward in twisted lines.
Gloria Trevi
People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.
