I don't believe in one ideal beauty.

Absence -- that common cure of love.

Miguel de Cervantes

One thing that happens when you're pregnant is that as your stomach starts to stretch. It itches! So I have to keep my belly really lubricated. Every morning, there's a buttering ceremony after I get out of the shower. It's really like basting a turkey with body butter.

Padma Lakshmi

Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion.

Al Goldstein

This life is not for complaint, but for satisfaction

Henry David Thoreau

An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons - marriage, or meat, or beer, or cinema; but the moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning.

C.S. Lewis

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

Orson Welles

The nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not.

Gertrude Stein

Half the time men think they are talking business, they are wasting time.

E. W. Howe

Some people work hard in this business and become really popular, really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow, when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.

Sharon Stone

We are wiser than we know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them.

Anthony Storr

Nothing is true everything is permitted.
