When one does away with oneself one does the most estimable thing possible: one thereby almost deserves to live.

Friedrich Nietzsche

God wasn't love, couldn't be love. Because for me, love was a corpse.

Ellen Hopkins

George Bernard Shaw

There is danger when a man throws his tongue into high gear before he gets his brain a-going.

C. C. Phelps

Every man has a sane spot somewhere.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Angelique Arnauld

Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.

Friedrich Nietzsche

And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, standing in admiration as a breathing red pours its tinge upon earth's shore.

Donald Miller

They are the books, the arts, the academes,That show, contain and nourish all the world.

William Shakespeare
