Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.
Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.
Rumi
I was going to be a great woman novelist. Then the war came along and I think it's hard for young people today, don't you, to realize that when World War II happened we were dying to go and help our country.
Julia Child
Only from the heart Can you touch the sky.
Truth is always served by great minds, even if they fight it.
Jean Rostand
You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.
When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Reality is inside the skull.
George Orwell
Never get married in the morning - you never know who you might meet that night.
Paul Hornung
Increased government spending can provide a temporary stimulus to demand and output but in the longer run higher levels of government spending crowd out private investment or require higher taxes that weaken growth by reducing incentives to save, invest, innovate, and work.
Martin Feldstein
I worshipped Berry Gordy for the creative dreams he had made come true.
Martha Reeves
The killer app that got the world ready for appliances was the light bulb. So the light bulb is what wired the world. And they weren't thinking about appliances when they wired the world. They were really thinking about - they weren't putting electricity into the home. They were putting lighting into the home.
Jeff Bezos
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers. What I said was that all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Ambrose Bierce
A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.
George Bernard Shaw
The function of genius is not to give new answers, but to pose new questions which time and mediocrity can resolve.
H. R. TrevorRoper
The man who has accomplished all that he thinks worthwhile has begun to die.
E. T. Trigg
I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.
Annie Lennox
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Alexander Trocchi
Basically I was a rebel growing up. I got kicked out of six schools. But I don't think that it makes you less of an intellect. You know, if you ever crave knowledge, there's always a library.
Michelle Rodriguez
No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offense.
Thomas Carlyle
No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats... these are the facts.
In this business, if you take too long, the landscape changes. So the opportunities that were there when I decided to take a break weren't there when I came back. It's like, 'Wait a second - what happened here?' It was a real learning experience. I've paid my dues, I will tell you that.
Chris O'Donnell
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David Thoreau
The hotel was once where things coalesced, where you could meet both townspeople and travelers. Not so in a motel. No matter how you build it, the motel remains the haunt of the quick and dirty, where the only locals are Chamber of Commerce boys every fourth Thursday. Who ever heard the returning traveler exclaim over one of the great motels of the world he stayed in? Motels can be big, but never grand.
William Trogdon
I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.
Bryan Cranston
Talking to a drunk person was like talking to an extremely happy, severely brain-damaged three-year-old.
John Green
Beware thoughts that come in the night. They aren't turned properly; they come in askew, free of sense and restriction, deriving from the most remote of sources.
The finest clothing made is a person's own skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.
Mark Twain
There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won t.
I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then there's nothing left for you to work towards. I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.
Cicely Tyson
Always have some project underway an ongoing project that goes over from day to day and thus makes each day a small unit of time.
Lillian Troll
His morality is all sympathy, just what morality should be
Oscar Wilde
They are best dressed, whose dress no one observes.
Anthony Trollope
The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance.
Herodotus
En helaas hebben huwelijken in het algemeen iets lomps. Ze bederven de tederste verhoudingen, en dat komt toch eigenlijk alleen door de botte zekerheid waarvan ten minste één partij profiteert. Alles is vanzelfsprekend en men lijkt de verbintenis alleen gesloten te hebben opdat beiden hun eigen gang kunnen gaan.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I hold that gentleman to be the best-dressed whose dress no one observes.
We must respect the past, and mistrust the present, if we wish to provide for the safety of the future.
Joseph Joubert
I judge a man by his actions with men, much more than by his declarations Godwards -- When I find him to be envious, carping, spiteful, hating the successes of others, and complaining that the world has never done enough for him, I am apt to doubt whether his humility before God will atone for his want of manliness.
True science teaches, above all, to doubt and to be ignorant.
Miguel de Unamuno
When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that
William Shakespeare
He must have known me if he had seen me as he was wont to see me, for he was in the habit of flogging me constantly. Perhaps he did not recognize me by my face.
