I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

Under an accumulation of staggerers, no man can be considered a free agent. No man knocks himself down; if his destiny knocks him down, his destiny must pick him up again.

Charles Dickens

Who has suffered? The families of the dead, no doubt. But a greater loss was inflicted on Pakistan because, as I said, we lost the pillars of our society.

Pervez Musharraf

I've learned this is a very long marriage doing a television show. I like the people that I work with to be people I enjoy, so you want to cast people who are as excited and enthusiastic as you are.

Shonda Rhimes

A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted.

Billie Holiday

I remember when I started off, my first car was a Kia Spectra. With a spoiler kit and some rims.

Gio Gonzalez

When a man has lost all happiness, he's not alive. Call him a breathing corpse.

Sophocles

Liberty will not descend to a people; a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed.

Charles Caleb Colton

I have also considered many scientific plans during my pushing you around in your pram!

Albert Einstein

William Shakespeare

Happiness consists in always aspiring perfection, the pause in any level in perfection is the pause of happiness

Leo Tolstoy

Can one preach at home inequality of races and nations and advocate abroad good-will towards all men?

Dorothy Thompson

Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life's over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.

Ursula K. LeGuin
