We have defined art as the life form and aesthetic art as the life renewal: the stimulating, animating, agitating, inspiring, inspirational, fermenting, fascinating fanaticising, explosive and outrageous: the renewal of the unknown.

Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman other or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.

Terry Eagleton

All things are sold: the very light of heaven is venal; earth's unsparing gifts of love, the smallest and most despicable things that lurk in the abysses of the deep, all objects of our life, even life itself, and the poor pittance which the laws allow of liberty, the fellowship of man, those duties which his heart of human love should urge him to perform instinctively, are bought and sold as in a public mart of not disguising selfishness, that sets on each its price, the stamp-mark of her reign.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

His life was one long extravaganza, like living inside a Faberge egg.

John Lahr

If somebody invented cigarettes today, the government would not legalize them.

Ben Nicholson

Elihu Root

Most people seek after what they do not possess and are enslaved by the very things they want to acquire.

Anwar ElSadat

Life is a celebration, Enjoy it well

Uruj Shahid

It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.

Deepak Chopra

That which proves too much, proves nothing!

Proverb

Truth does not hurt, rather, it is our resistance to its message that causes pain.

Vernon Howard

Falling in love was simple; one had only to yield. Digesting another person, however, and sustaining love, was bloody work, and not a soft job.
