It is well within the order of things that man should listen when his mate sings; but the true male never yet walked who liked to listen when his mate talked.
It doesn't matter if you're 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100. Embrace your sexy-ass self and express it!
Steve Maraboli
Poetry is a sort of truancy, a dream within the dream of life, a wild flower planted among our wheat.
Michael Joseph Oakeshott
He wrote love stories, a thing I have always kept free from, holding the belief that the well-known and popular sentiment is not properly matter for publication, but something to be privately handled by the alienist and the florist.
O. Henry
Science is like literature, a continuing dialog among diverse and conflicting voices, no one ever wholly right or wholly wrong, but a steady conversation forever provisional and personal and living.
Gregory Benford
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible.
Freeman John Dyson
Times like this were special. Memory builders. When something extraordinary happened to a person the kind of things remembered forever after it didn't have to be a life-changing event like a graduation or marriage or birth of a child. It more often was the small things. The sheer joy of summer sunlight on a fragrant flower. The giggle of a toddler. The brush of a lover's fingertips. And the person marks the moment with the flashing insight thinking... This is special. I should remember this
Sandra Hill
Maybe it's just that some of us have had certain facts and truths slapped up against our heads so hard and so often that we have to see them and pay our respects to their reality.
Ralph Ellison in Juneteenth
Other letters simply relate the small events that punctuate the passage of time: roses picked at dusk, the laziness of a rainy Sunday, a child crying himself to sleep. Capturing the moment, these small slices of life, these small gusts of happiness, move me more deeply than all the rest. A couple of lines or eight pages, a Middle Eastern stamp or a suburban postmark . . . I hoard all these letters like treasure. One day I hope to fasten them end to end in a half-mile streamer, to float in the wind like a banner raised to the glory of friendship. It will keep the vultures at bay.
Jean-Dominique Bauby
No one has the power to shatter your dreams unless you give it to them.
Maeve Greyson
TO BE is life's dilemma while facing the eternity of death.
Sorin Cerin
It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with.
Stephen Fry
I've never met a woman with divine sweetness in her eyes, or a delicacy in her smile that was so glorious, that it made my heart ascend to grace.
Lionel Suggs
Poets are damned but see with the eyes of angels.
Allen Ginsberg
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Stevie Wonder
I'll never forget the way he tastes. It's not anything I can describe, a little sweet and a whole lot of spice, and it feels, in that moment, absolutely right.
Cynthia Hand
What to say? That the end of love is a haunting. A haunting of dreams. A haunting of silence. Haunted by ghosts it is easy to become a ghost. Life ebbs. The pulse is too faint. Nothing stirs you. Some people approve of this and call it healing. It is not healing. A dead body feels no pain.
Jeanette Winterson
I want to change the world, and do something valuable and beautiful. I want people to remember me before I'm dead, and then more afterwards.
Russell Brand
The moment love is born: the woman cannot resist the voice calling forth her terrified soul; the man cannot resist the woman whose soul thus responds to his voice.
Milan Kundera
It is disappointing and embarrassing to the science profession that some Nobel Laureates would deliberately use their well deserved scientific reputations and hold themselves out as experts in other fields.
David Douglass
It's not worth our while to let our imperfections disturb us always.
Henry David Thoreau
Don't laugh. A girl can dream.
Richelle E. Goodrich
Mystery is the wisdom of blockheads
Horace Walpole
The separation of state and church must be complemented by the separation of state and science, that most recent, most aggressive, and most dogmatic religious institution.
Paul Karl Feyerabend
Stop thinking about life and choose to live it
Paulo Coelho
If you are not the hero of your own story, then you're missing the whole point of your humanity.
And then it was the kind of dark your eyes never adjust to.
John Green
Two may keep counsel, putting one away
William Shakespeare
You have suffered greatly, poor mother. Oh! do not lament, you have now the portion of the elect. It is in this way that mortals become angels. It is not their fault; they do not know how to set about it otherwise. This hell from which you have come out is the first step towards Heaven. We must begin by that. -- Jean Valjean --
Victor Hugo
I have changed my mind, and changed the trimmings of my cap this morning; they are now such as you suggested.
Jane Austen
I've heard the word 'fear'. I simply choose to believe it doesn't apply to me.
Cassandra Clare
That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger....
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only as high as I reach can I growOnly as far as I seek can I goOnly as deep as I look can I seeOnly as much as I dream can I be
Karen Ravn
All churches and all religions contain aspects of the truth, but only God is truth.
Pat Buckley
The woman who preaches has poison religion. Let the respectable ones go
Stephen King
With its grace and carelessness, it seemed to annihilate a whole culture, a whole system of thought, as though [all] could be swept into a nothingness by a single splendid movement of the arm.
George Orwell
Of course, I quiet agree that the Christian religion is, in the long run, a thing of unspeakable discomfort. But it does not begin in comfort; it begins in the dismay and it is no use at all trying to go on to that comfort without first going through that dismay. In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is one thing you cannot get looking for it. If you look for the truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth-only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and the in the end, despair.
C.S. Lewis
Genius is formed in quiet, character in the stream of human life
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the hardest thing in the world To think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
She understood how a world jammed with phones, email, and faxes could still leave you feeling utterly alone.
Jodi Picoult
Let man fear woman when she loves: then she makes any sacrifice, and everything else seems without value to her
