I can get no remedy against this consumption of the purse: borrowing only lingers and lingers it out, but the disease is incurable.

In the heat of the Russian summer a sleeping car is the most horrible instrument of martyrdom imaginable.

Manfred von Richthofen

The risk presented by these lethal wastes is like no other risk, and we should not be expected to accept it or to project it into the future in order for manufacturers and utilities to make a dollar killing now.

David R. Brower

Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese

Billie Burke

I would forget it fain,But oh, it presses to my memory,Like damnèd guilty deeds to sinners' minds.*I would be glad to forget about it, but it weighs on my memory like sins linger in guilty minds.*

William Shakespeare

Niemand kann euch etwas eröffnen, das nicht schon im Dämmern eures Wissens schlummert.

Kahlil Gibran

I am only 33, I've got a lot to do. This is the first half of my career. I'm looking forward to the future and I'm proud about the past.

Ice Cube

There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.

I.I. Gitelson

Maybe the first time you saw her you were ten. She was standing in the sun scratching her legs. Or tracing letters in the dirt with a stick. Her hair was being pulled. Or she was pulling someone's hair. And a part of you was drawn to her, and a part of you resisted--wanting to ride off on your bicycle, kick a stone, remain uncomplicated. In the same breath you felt the strength of a man, and a self-pity that made you feel small and hurt. Part of you thought: Please don't look at me. If you don't, I can still turn away. And part of you thought: Look at me.

Nicole Krauss

The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.

Carl Lewis

Men, who are rogues individually, are in the mass very honorable people.

Charles de Secondat

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

Harriet Tubman
