I don't even like watching sex scenes in movies. I have a slight prudish side to me.

If a task has once begun. Never leave it till it's done. Be the labor great or small. Do it well or not at all.

Anon.

Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by terror and force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

How soon my sorrow hath destroyed my face

William Shakespeare

To err is human but to really foul up requires a computer.

Dan Rather

The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.

Thornton Wilder

I don't think I even knew how big we were at the time. It was mad. I gained a lot through East 17 and I'm grateful for being able to have that experience.

Brian Harvey

The truth was, history repeated itself on a daily basis; mistakes were made over and over. People were haunted by what they had done, and by what they hadn't had time to do.

Jodi Picoult

Life at any time can become difficult: life at any time can become easy. It all depends upon how one adjusts oneself to life.

Moraji R. Desai

There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Albert Einstein

Never work before breakfast. If you have to work before breakfast, get your breakfast first.

Josh Billings

Do you know when you may concede your insignificance? Before God or, perhaps, before the intellect, beauty, or nature, but not before people. Among people, one must be conscious of one's dignity.

Anton Chekhov

If a poem is not memorable, there's probably something wrong. One of the problems of free verse is that much of the free verse poetry is not memorable.
