The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.

We left behind the other kids; their path-working, drinking, and being grown up- and rejected all that made them grumpy, uncreative and lifeless. We dumpstered, squatted, and shoplifted our lives back. Everything fell into place when we decided our lives were meant to be lived. Life serves the risk taker...

My parents were dishonest people. If it was my birthday, I knew my mother took me to the K-Mart and she stole my toy. She'd put it in the shopping cart and we'd walk out. I was raised with that.

Vincent Gallo

A drinker has a hole under his nose that all his money runs into.

Thomas Fuller

Amos Bronson Alcott

Wigs have always been a part of my life and have become a staple accessory in my closet. I can remember being a little girl and hearing all the commotion in my house from my mom, aunts and grandmother when picking out their wigs for the day. It was such a good time for them and part of their everyday beauty routine.

President Obama's 100-day plan is pretty impressive. I think it's a Wow 100-plus days. The administration is not operating from fear, it is trying to drive change for the future, and that's a good thing.

Andrea Jung

As of 1992, they'll be called European Economic Community fries.

Steven Wright

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

Charles Spurgeon

Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late that we've wounded the people we are trying to protect.
