My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them.

Have the courage of your desire.

George Robert Gissing

There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.

George Eliot

No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.

Salma Hayek

Albert Camus

Does not the ear of Handel predict the witchcraft of harmonic sound?

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What a comfort a dull but kindly person is, to be sure, at times! A ground-glass shade over a gas-lamp does not bring more solace to our dazzled eyes than such a one to our minds.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Many find their heart when they have lost their head.

Friedrich Nietzsche

A woman could do that to you - reach that place in your soul where the best and worst of you was kept. And once she was there, she owned that place and never left.
