Carrie Underwood

A woman one loves rarely suffices for all our needs, so we deceive her with another whom we do not love.

Marcel Proust

For me growing up, Christmas time was always the most fantastic, exciting time of year, and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also, maybe, they were in collusion with Santa Claus.

Chris Pine

It's very hard to make arguments about the effects of cloning on family relations if family relations are in tatters.

Leon Kass

People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.

Mark Twain
