It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
Because that is when you love somebody - when you see them being game in the face of the worst. Not courageous. Not heroic. Just game.
Philip Roth
The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn't got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.
David Herbert Lawrence
I love to see, when leaves depart, The clear anatomy arrive, Winter, the paragon of art, That kills all forms of life and feeling Save what is pure and will survive.
Roy Campbell
History overflows time. Love overflows the allowance of the world. All the vessels overflow, and no end or limit stays put. Every shakable thing has got to be shaken. In a sense, nothing that was ever lost in Port William ever has been replaced. In another sense, nothing is ever lost, and we are compacted together forever, even by our failures, our regrets, and our longings.
Wendell Berry
I moved into an allelectric house. I forgot and left the porchlight on all day. When I got home the front door wouldn't open.

I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood.
William Shakespeare
The distinction between past, present and future is an illusion, but a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein
The robb'd that smiles, steals something from the thief
She was beautiful, with a beauty so severe and so solitary that at first it was startling. Ah! If only there were two of me, she thought, one doing the talking and one listening, one living and one watching, how I would love myself. I'd envy no one.
Simone de Beauvoir
Aging in women is 'unbeautiful' since women grow more powerful with time, and since the links between generations of women must always be broken.
Naomi Wolf
Cruel', O'Kelly laughed, 'it's cruel to tell children the truth. If anything convinces me of God's mercy, then it's his gift of making us unable to lie.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
That is an artist as I love artists, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art - panem et Circen.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Oh, I am fortune's fool!
I don't really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism.
Marco Rubio
As we continue to fight the War on Terror, it is imperative that we protect America's fallen heroes by ensuring that they are treated with respect, while being laid to rest.
Jon Porter
Common sense is as rare as genius, - is the basis of genius
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Captain of our fairy band,Helena is here at hand,And the youth, mistook by me,Pleading for a lover's fee.Shall we their fond pageant see?Lord, what fools these mortals be!
There is an unknown land full of strange flowers and subtle perfumes, a land of which it is joy of all joys to dream, a land where all things are perfect and poisonous.
Oscar Wilde
However brief our time in the sun, if we waste a second of it, orcomplain that it is dull or barren or (like a child) boring, couldn'tthis be seen as a callous insult to those unborn trillions who willnever even be offered life in the first place?
Richard Dawkins

Carre Otis
The House has passed several bipartisan bills to ensure all Americans have the opportunity to secure a good job to provide for their families. All of these jobs bills deserve the support of our Senators and a strong show of leadership from the president.
Joe Heck
He does it with better grace, but I do it more natural.
Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or to give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows you to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.
Paulo Coelho
A disciple was one day recalling how Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed were branded as rebels and heretics by their contemporaries. Said the Master, Nobody can be said to have attained the pinnacle of Truth until a thousand sincere people have denounced him for blasphemy.
Anthony de Mello
Sometimes it takes a lowly, title-less man to humble the world. Kings, rulers, CEOs, judges, doctors, pastors, they are already expected to be greater and wiser.
Criss Jami
Life is hard it's harder if you're stupid.
John Wayne
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

The people who come to watch us play, who love the team and regard it as part of their lives, would never appreciate Liverpool having a huge balance in the bank. They want every asset we possess to be wearing a red shirt.
Kenny Dalglish
Is it not by learning to read the book of nature with the eyes of faith that we come to recognize the drop of divinity that resides in our own souls though hidden, master? In the end is this not faith; to seek the light that takes us further, the light of Christ that brings that to which reason and knowledge alone can never raise itself? This is truth!
Adriana Koulias
What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce.
Mark Twain
I will not talk about people a thousand miles off, but come as near home as I can. As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism. Let us consider the way in which we spend our lives.
Henry David Thoreau
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
