Anyone who realises what Love is, the dedication of the heart, so profound, so absorbing, so mysterious, so imperative, and always just in the noblest natures so strong, cannot fail to see how difficult, how tragic even, must often be the fate of those whose deepest feelings are destined from the earliest days to be a riddle and a stumbling-block, unexplained to themselves, passed over in silence by others.

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

Bette Davis

The president has undermined trust. No longer will the members of Congress be entitled to accept his veracity. Caveat emptor has become the word. Every member of Congress is on his or her own to determine the truth.

Bob Graham

The Government and the Parliament, even the House of Lords, will consent to a large increase of electors and men who have not considered the subject fully will imagine they have gained much by the concession.

John Bright

If you've enjoyed a little and endured a lot, you've really done pretty well.

Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.

Joel Osteen

That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.

Richard Bach, The Bridge Across

The most gifted natures are perhaps also the most trembling.

Andre Gide

Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.

Kahlil Gibran

He went to the church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and for, and patted the children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of homes, and up to the windows, and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed of any walk, that anything, could give him so much happiness. (p. 119)

Charles Dickens

Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter. Most people make too much of it. On these grounds a good fuck is not to be entirely scorned. But that's the result of a chance meeting too. You're damned right. Drink up. We'll have another.

Charles Bukowski

The cool thing about writing music, writing anything, is that once you publish it, it's there forever.

Ryan Tedder

Hank, when people call people nerds mostly what they're saying is,'You like stuff'.

John Green
