What can we do without pain in front of happiness?

One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.

Pablo Picasso

Y cada vez, después de la pasión satisfecha y del amor renovado nos dormimos muy juntos sin importarnos dónde empieza uno ni termina el otro, ni de quién son estas manos o estos pies, en tan perfecta complicidad que nos encontramos en los sueños y al otro día no sabemos quién soñó a quién, y cuando uno se mueve entre las sábanas el otro se acomoda en los ángulos y curvas, y cuando uno suspira el otro suspira y cuando uno despierta el otro despierta también.

Isabel Allende

I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things. My older brothers and sister had started to school when, sometimes, they would come in and ask for a buttered biscuit or something and my mother, impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred; but I would think to myself that Wilfred, for being so nice and quiet, often stayed hungry. So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

Malcolm X

Don't say that you want to give, but go ahead and give! You'll never catch up with a mere hope.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It's time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone.

Paul McCartney

I don't follow politics much.

Vivienne Westwood

In Holland, they have come to precisely the same conclusion. There they have adopted a system of secular education, because they have found it impracticable to unite the religious bodies in any system of combined religious instruction.

Richard Cobden

Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men.

Bede Griffiths

What I enjoy most is travelling to different places and meeting new people. For me, it's all about life experiences, and I'm very grateful that acting allows me so many interesting and fulfilling ones.

Jensen Ackles

Do you think that the things people make fools of themselves about are any less real and true than the things they behave sensibly about? They are more true: they are the only things that are true.

George Bernard Shaw

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.

W. C. Fields
