All men have one refuge, a good friend, with whom you can weep and know that he does not smile.

Menander

Iain Duncan Smith

Singing really is acting. In a lot of ways, it's much more personal. I love music, and being able to work on that is amazing.

Leighton Meester

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

Abraham Lincoln

Knowledge is power. Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.

Helen Keller

Destruction, hence, like creation, is one of Nature's mandates.

Marquis de Sade

I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.

Vivienne Westwood

Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.

Chuck Palahniuk

Albert Einstein

The simple truth is that balding African-American men look cool when they shave their heads, whereas balding white men look like giant thumbs.

Dave Barry

It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body; for instance, to be over much occupied about exercise, about eating and drinking, about easing oneself, about sexual intercourse.

Epictetus

He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted.

Red Auerbach
