You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for the law is too slow. I'll ruin you.
Her little butterfly soul fluttered incessantly between memory and dubious expectation.

It is said that scattered through Despair's domain are a multitude of tiny windows, hanging in the void. Each window looks out onto a different scene, being, in our world, a mirror. Sometimes you will look into a mirror and feel the eyes of Despair upon you, feel her hook catch and snag on your heart. Despair says little, and is patient.
Neil Gaiman

I went into this bar and sat down next to a pretty girl. She looked at me and said, Hey, you have two different colored socks on. I said, Yeah, I know, but to me they're the same because I go by thickness.
Steven Wright
What a silly thing love is!' said the student as he walked away. 'It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true. In fact, it is quite unpractical, and, as in this age to be practical is everything, I shall go back to philosophy and study metaphysics.' So he returned to his room and pulled out a great dusty book, and began to read.
Oscar Wilde
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett
Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.
Mahatma Gandhi
But I feel music has a very important role in ritual activity, and that being able to join in musical activity, along with dancing, could have been necessary at a very early stage of human culture.
E. O. Wilson
You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.
Dhani Harrison
Intervention for the prevention and control of osteoporosis should comprise a combination of legislative action, educational measures, health service activities, media coverage, and individual counselling to initiate changes in behaviour.
Gro Harlem Brundtland
Sometime later the islanders on a little rimward atoll were amazed to find, washed into their little local lagoon, the wave-rocked corpse of a hideous sea monster, all beaks, eyes and tentacles. They were further astonished at its size, since it was rather larger than their village. But their surprise was tiny compared to the huge, stricken expression on the face of the dead monster, which appeared to be have been trampled to death.
I think every student needs access to technology, and I think technology can be a hugely important vehicle to help level the playing field.
Arne Duncan
The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.
Looking through the telescope, one saw a circle of deep blue and the little round planet swimming in the field. It seemed such a little thing, so bright and small and still, faintly marked with transverse stripes, and slightly flattened from the perfect round. But so little it was, so silvery warm
H. G. [Herbert George] Wells, Th
You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy.
Garth Brooks
When everything else physical and mental seems to diminish, the appreciation of beauty is on the increase.
Bernard Berenson
Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
Kahlil Gibran
My guess is my brother would call his mom and his dad pretty regularly, a lot more than I probably did.
Jeb Bush
The '20s ended in an era of extravagance, sort of like the one we're in now. There was a big crash, but then the country picked itself up again, and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it.
Norman Rockwell
Whenever you analyse anyone who has had any success and they're in the headlines, you will find they are human and make mistakes. I'm certainly that and I've made a lot of mistakes.
Jeffrey Archer
I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.
Billie Holiday
También en su mundo distante, más distante que la propia luna, la música era capaz de penetrar y hacer milagros.
Paulo Coelho
I'm not into animal rights. I'm only into animal welfare and health. I've been with the Morris Animal Foundation since the '70s. We're a health organization. We fund campaign health studies for dogs, cats, lizards and wildlife. I've worked with the L.A. Zoo for about the same length of time. I get my animal fixes!
Betty White
What is a personal calling? It is God's blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend. However, we don't all have the courage to confront our own dream.
I don't think children's inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house they want places to play.
Beverly Cleary
Questioning the nature and implications of liminal instances necessarily involves failure, if only in the specifically technical sense of entering spaces where prevailing criteria of success scarcely apply.
Brian Ferneyhough
Really, every woman is an example to me, because as women we go through so much pain. We have to live this perfect life when we are messed up inside. We all go through trials and tribulations.
Mary J. Blige
Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.
Rick Perry

Albert Camus
Just because you put higher-octane gasoline in your car doesn't mean you can break the speed limit. The speed limit's still 65.
Neil Sheehan
We Hoosiers are excessively optimistic about summer.
John Green
After reading Eminem's autobiography, which I did because I'm so interested in him as an artist, I respect him a lot. Even though he seems angry and mad, he's had to fight so many demons in his life.
Taryn Manning
Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1,200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.
Theresa May
Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.
Ovid
Being the lead of the show and working a lot of hours - all good stuff, a tremendous education, incredible opportunity, it changed my life - it was a marathon, and by the end of it I was pretty beat.
James Van Der Beek
I've never preached one sermon on money, on just finances. I want to stay away from it.
