Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.

Oscar Wilde

We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

It was not the passion that was new to her, it was the yearning adoration. She knew she had always feared it, for it left her helpless; she feared it still, lest if se adored him too much, then she would lose herself, become effaced, and she did not want to be effaced, a slave, like a savage woman. She must not become a slave. She feared her adoration, yet she would not at once fight against it.

D.H. Lawrence

Bob Wells

William Blake

An ordinary man away from home giving advice.

Oscar Wilde

The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared. Sympathies that lie too deep for words, too deep almost for thoughts, are touched, at such times, by other charms than those which the senses feel and which the resources of expression can realise. The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed kindred with the deeper mystery in our own souls.

Wilkie Collins

Thomas Jefferson

Americans have always been able to handle austerity and even adversity. Prosperity is what is doing us in.

James Reston

I never met a word I didn't love
