So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

If you're not happy about how you look, you have to question how much self-love you have.

Tyrese Gibson

If he was a good man, how could he leave me? So he must not be a good man. But if he isn't good, then why does it hurt so much to lose him? Is it just my pride that's wounded?

Orson Scott Card

There are no more ideologies in the authentic sense of false consciousness, only advertisements for the world through its duplication and the provocative lie which does not seek belief but commands silence.

Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno

Knowing life's purpose would invest everything one did with meaning.

Kentetsu Takamori

Life - and I don't suppose I'm the first to make this comparison - is a disease: sexually transmitted, and invariably fatal.

Neil Gaiman

It is easier to keep half a dozen lovers guessing than to keep one lover after he has stopped guessing.

Helen Rowland

Nature does nothing uselessly.

Aristotle

I have never seen a man as fond of virtue as of women.

Confucius

With science fiction I think we are preparing ourselves for contact with them, whoever they may be.

Dwight Schultz

The power of faith will often shine forth the most when the character is naturally weak.

Augustus Hare

The creditor hath a better memory than the debtor.

James Howell

Next to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious scheme ever contrived by government. Most people have never dared to question the basic morality or logic in the assumption that the majority should have power over the minority. A majority of the people in the South once believed in black slavery. Did that make it moral? A lynch mob is majority rule stripped of its fancy trappings and its facade of respectability. In a community where homosexuals outnumber heterosexuals, should the majority have the right to outlaw sex between married partners of the opposite sex? In a community where atheists outnumber non- atheists, should the majority have the right to outlaw the practice of religion? ... a dictatorship allows only a small number of people to interfere with the rights of others, a democracy makes it possible for great numbers of people to impose their will on others -- through the force of government. Is an act of aggression more right if carried out by the majority than by a dictator? Since approximately half the eligible voters vote this means that approximately 75% of the people are ruled by 25% of the people.
