The dead should not rule the living

Why can't these American women stay in their own country? They are always telling us that it is the paradise for women.It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it.

Oscar Wilde

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past -- whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

Bob Dylan

The real thinking of woman is pre-eminently practical and applied. It is something we describe as sound common sense, and is usually directed to what is close at hand and personal. In general, it can be said that feminine mentality manifests an undeveloped, childlike, or primitive character; instead of the thirst for knowledge, curiosity; instead of judgment, prejudice; instead of thinking, imagination or dreaming; instead of will, wishing. Where a man takes up objective problems, a woman contents herself with solving riddles; where he battles for knowledge and understanding, she contents herself with faith or superstition, or else she makes assumptions.

Emma Jung

I don't care how smart a kid you are. The only way you learn what's not right is from experience.

Cameron Diaz

I try to act out of faith.

Marian Wright Edelman

A lot of people criticize the primaries, but I think they are absolutely essential to the education of the President of the United States.

Pierre Salinger

O how can beautie maister the most strong, / And simple truth subdue avenging wrong?

Edmund Spenser

What the world calls originality is only an unaccustomed method of tickling it

George Bernard Shaw

He who tip-toes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.

LaoTzu

I've reduced a lot of the stress in my life. I've gotten rid of a lot of things. The light was turned on and a lot of the cockroaches started spinning. I swept them out the door. And sometimes you just have to throw things out because they carry a certain energy.

Wesley Snipes

The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.

Blaise Pascal

I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.

Paul Cezanne
