Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.

Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.

Raymond Chandler

Sometimes wisdom came from strange places, even from giant teenaged goldfish.

Rick Riordan

He is armed without who is innocent within, be this thy screen, and this thy wall of brass.

Horace

People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.

John Cheever

What fugitive from his country can also escape from himself.

Horace

You have to find out what's right for you, so it's trial and error. You are going to be all right if you accept realistic goals for yourself.

Teri Garr

The right man comes at the right time.

Italian Proverb

If winds are the spirit of the sky's ocean, the clouds are the texture. Their is easily the most uninhibited dominion of the earth. Nothing in physical shape is too fantastic for them. They can be round as apples or as fine as string, as dense as a jungle, as wispy as a whiff of down, as mild as puddle water or as potent as the belch of a volcano. Some are thunderous anvils formed by violent up drafts from the warm earth. Some are ragged coattails of storms that have passed. Some are stagnant blankets of warm air resting on cold. I have seen clouds in the dawn that looked like a pink Sultan with his pale harem maidens and a yellow slob of eunuch lolling impotent in the background.

Guy Murchie

It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

I don't have pet peeves I have whole kennels of irritation.

Whoopi Goldberg

Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.

Will Durant

The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.

Nathaniel Lee
