To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability

The great safeguard of society and of domestic life was, that opinions were not acted on. Sane people did what their neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them.

George Eliot

You look beautiful - David

Scott Westerfeld

To see and feel one's beloved naked for the first time is one of life's pure, irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.

Dan Simmons

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.

John Lennon

A civilization is destroyed only when its gods are destroyed.

E. M. Cioran

If you want to happy for the rest of your life, make a crack-whore your wife.

Kerry Jackson

Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action.

William Shakespeare

Go where we will on the surface of things, men have been there before us.

Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.
