I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.

Private and public life are subject to the same rules; and truth and manliness are two qualities that will carry you through this world much better than policy, or tact, or expediency, or any other word that was ever devised to conceal or mystify a deviation from the straight line.

General Robert E. Lee

You know the minute you stop thinking about it, it'll happen.

Sarah Dessen

If it's a romantic holiday, the only thing I need is my wife. We love quiet and calm places where we can't be disturbed. Neither of us likes being in busy places we would much rather stay in our hotel room and enjoy each other's company.

Jean Reno

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.

Annie Lennox

All of the people in my building are insane. The guy above me designs synthetic hairballs for ceramic cats. The lady across the hall tried to rob a department store...with a pricing gun...She said, Give me all of the money in the vault, or I'm marking down everything in the store.

Steven Wright

In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them.

Veronica Roth

We often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.

Sir John Lubbock

Love is a naked shadow On a gnarled and naked tree.

Langston Hughes

You want to believe that there's one relationship in life that's beyond betrayal. A relationship that's beyond that kind of hurt. And there isn't.

Caleb Carr

There is a remedy for everything; it is called death.

Proverb

And I think it's that time. And I think if you just step aside and Mr. Romney can kind of take over. You can maybe still use a plane. Though maybe a smaller one. Not that big gas guzzler you are going around to colleges and talking about student loans and stuff like that.

Clint Eastwood

Humility is indeed beatness, a compulsory virtue that no one exhibits unless he has to.

William S. Burroughs
