Being cool, having a 'cool' energy is just not attractive to me.

A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.

Northrop Frye

I tell people not to be afraid of their fears; because their fears are not there to scare them, they're there to let them know that something is worth it. Yet I am often afraid. I guess that means in my life, lots of things have been worth it!

C. JoyBell C.

I like books whose virtue is all drawn together in a page or two. I like sentences that don't budge though armies cross them.

Virginia Woolf

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.

Mark Twain

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

Elbert Hubbard

Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long.

Martin Luther

Kindness begets kindness.

Proverb

You will therefore send me none but Natives, and Men of some property, if you have them.

George Washington

There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

Leo Tolstoy

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else....

Winston Churchill

And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up.

Nigella Lawson

No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.

Theodore Roosevelt
