Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.

Philosophy! Empty thinking by ignorant conceited men who think they can digest without eating!

Iris Murdoch

The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.

Bertrand Russell

No man rises so high as he knows not whither he goes.

Oliver Cromwell

To do an evil act is base. To do a good one without incurring danger, is common enough. But it is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds though he risks everything in doing them.

Plutarch

Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.

Charles Feidelson

I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.

David Mitchell

The rules have changed. True power is held by the person who possesses the largest bookshelf, not gun cabinet or wallet.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

Genius (which means transcendent capacity of taking trouble, first of all).

Thomas Carlyle

I just don't crave junk food.

Cat Deeley

Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.

Andrea Dworkin

I'm from a small town so, like, everyone's married with children or about to have children. So it's a little hard when you go home and people are like - and that's why people think I'm gay - because they're like 'Why aren't you married?' And I'm like, 'it doesn't happen for everyone right off the bat.'

Kelly Clarkson

Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.

Denis Waitley
