Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have.

I fantasized how no matter what happened, no one could ever come between us, call it wishful thinking, I called it a fact.

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace. To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden, preferably where there is no grocer to confuse the issue. To avoid the second, he should lay a split of good oak on the andirons, preferably where there is no furnace, and let it warm his shins while a February blizzard tosses the trees outside. If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator.

Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Alma

Kurt Vonnegut

James Russell Lowell

I worked so hard for that first kissAnd a heart dont forget something like thatLike an old photographTime can make a feeling fadeBut the memory of a first loveNever fades away.

I cannot find the perfect person, but I refuse to live my life living a tragic love story based on just sex, and selfish act.

Roxy Writer

I think Europeans have enough tradition and respect for the experience and body of work of an actress that they don't sell out to the new ones.

Kathleen Turner

Who said, 'All Time's delightHath she for narrow bed;Life's troubled bubble broken'? ---That's what I said.
