Art persists, it timelessly continues.

Oscar Wilde

So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.

Lisa Guerrero

I can hear the clock ticking, but I can never find the time.

JJ Sereday

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Anton Chekhov

The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.

G. W. F. Hegel

Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.

Woodrow Wilson

The ideas of Freud were popularized by people who only imperfectly understood them, who were incapable of the great effort required to grasp them in their relationship to larger truths, and who therefore assigned to them a prominence out of all proportion to their true importance.

Alfred North Whitehead

Leftism seeks to undo most of the values that are distinct to Judeo-Christian religion.

Dennis Prager

Profit and morality are a hard combination to beat.

Hubert Humphrey

It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes. When I brood over these marvelous pleasures I have enjoyed, I would be tempted to offer God a prayer of thanks if I knew he could hear me. Praised may he be for not creating me a cotton merchant, a vaudevillian, or a wit.

Gustave Flaubert

I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.

Nicole Kidman
