In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents, worried five of them to death, impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails, we hold an election and assassinate their character.

A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.

G. K. Chesterton

My four older brothers were my favorite players. That's why I got into football and sports.

The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born.

Renata Adler

The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened. It's only the middle-aged who are really conscious of their limitations--that is why one should be so patient with them.

Saki [Hector Hugh Munro]

Romantic music really stirs my soul. And, of course, I love Chinese music it makes me feel closer to home.

Liu Wen

Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.

Charles Baudelaire

It's really hard for me to sometimes put myself out there, like 'Hey, how do you feel about making music together?' because maybe I'm afraid of rejection or I don't want to put anybody out. It's the Southerner in me, like, 'I don't mean to bother you but do you mind making a song?'

Beth Ditto

A leader has been defined as one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

It doesn't matter, anyway, why you like me. [...] Just that you do. - Dexter

Sarah Dessen

I want to be great, something special.

Sugar Ray Leonard

You were born to journey in the direction of your purpose. Anything that halts your progress is contrary to your design.

Steve Maraboli

We are no more free agents than the queen of clubs when she victoriously takes prisoner the knave of hearts.

Mary Wortley Montagu
