Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus
The beauty of that June day was almost staggering.

One of the reasons why we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow.

And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.
Gregory David Roberts
If we truly love ourselves, in spite of our flaws, then we can love others in spite of theirs.

Paul Gascoigne
A light here required a shadow there.
Virginia Woolf
There is a great difference between Christianity and religion at the south. If a man goes to the communion table, and pays money into the treasury of the church, no matter if it be the price of blood, he is called religious.

Tran Duc Luong
All dark and comfortless.
So we are steaming along without any landmark; we can't gauge our speed. We are making progress and yet nothing is changing. It's not navigation but dreaming.
Albert Camus
I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean, they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they're interested in constitutional, limited government. And so they're not one group of people. They're thousands of small groups all over the country.
Jim DeMint
Money changes all the iron rules into rubber bands.
Ryszard Kapuscinski

Carlos Ghosn
I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row, and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal, and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is, it makes the series limited, you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.
Harlan Coben

There was once a king, and he had a queen; and he was the manliest of his gender, and she was the loveliest of hers. They had nineteen children, and were always having more.
