I belong to my beloved, and my beloved is mine.

What you think of me is none of my business.

It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired, you quit when the gorilla is tired.

I had some of the students in my finance class actually do some empirical work on capital structures, to see if we could find any obvious patterns in the data, but we couldn't see any.

Merton Miller

A Student is the most important person ever in this school...in person, on the telephone, or by mail.A Student is not dependent on us...we are dependent on the Student.A Student is not an interruption of our work..the Studenti s the purpose of it. We are not doing a favor by serving the Student...the Student is doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.A Student is a person who brings us his or her desire to learn. It is our job to handle each Student in a manner which is beneficial to the Student and ourselves.Adapted from an L.L. Bean Co. poster: What is a customer? by J. M. Eaten

Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.

Albert Ellis

Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.

William Shakespeare

Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.

Andrew Solomon

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Henry Ward Beecher

I told him I was going to betray you, and betray Lyra, and he believed me because I was corrupt and full of wickedness; he looked so deep I felt sure he'd see the truth. But I lied too well. I was lying with every nerve and fiber and everything I'd ever done...I wanted him to find no good in me, and he didn't. There is none.

Philip Pullman

No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.

Samuel Johnson

Politics is a highly tribal business.

Nick Clegg

Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second.
