But I am delighted to be a Dodger, I grew up a Dodger fan and now my dreams have really come true.

It seems like once people grow up, they have no idea what's cool.

Bill Watterson

We need cancer because, by the very fact of its insurability, it makes all other diseases, however virulent, not cancer.

Gilbert Adair

And I just think that we're at a point in our economic life here in our state - and - and, candidly, across the country, where increased taxes is just the wrong way to go. The people of our state are not convinced that state government, county government, local government has done all they can with the money we already give them, rather than the money that we have before.

Chris Christie

Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality. I have been for many years a teacher of languages. It is an occupation which at length becomes fatal to whatever share of imagination, observation, and insight an ordinary person may be heir to. To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot.

Joseph Conrad, Under Western Eye

It is not enough that you should understand about applied science in order that your work may increase mans blessings. Concern for the man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors; concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.

Albert Einstein

The choice between a Labour government and a Tory one is sharpening minds.

Lucy Powell

Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.N.B.: This quote is commonly misquoted as savage beast.

William Congreve

I've had two terrific relationships, but both ended in marriage.

Jane Seymour

destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time, which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which [God] has of reality as a whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with eternity or with the Present--either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself, or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.

C.S. Lewis

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Speaking of hope, did you see that shot Alec got off with his bow? That's my boyfriend.

Cassandra Clare

Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on. It is about muddling through the middle.
