Epic poetry exhibits life in some great symbolic attitude. It cannot strictly be said to symbolize life itself, but always some manner of life.

The fellow that owns his own home is always just coming out of a hardware store.

Kin Hubbard

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.

Barbara de Angelis

We, however, place the love of God and His honour above our own and above the acquisition of many regions

Richard I of England

Observe this, that tho a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she's still virtuous; that's a maxim.

George Farquhar

Sweet and glorious it is to die for our country.

Horace

Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch, which ought to be applied as sparingly as possible.

E. M. Forster

He lives most life whoever breathes most air.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

History leaves no doubt that among of the most regrettable crimes committed by human beings have been committed by those human beings who thought of themselves as civilized. What, we must ask, does our civilization possess that is worth defending? One thing worth defending, I suggest, is the imperative to imagine the lives of beings who are not ourselves and are not like ourselves: animals, plants, gods, spirits, people of other countries, other races, people of the other sex, places and enemies.

Wendell Berry, Peaceableness Tow

His father watched him across the gulf of years and pathos which always must divide a father from his son.

John Marquand

Anymore, no one's mind is their own.

Chuck Palahniuk

I play sports.

Josh Hutcherson

I'll never look down on and I love running into actors who say 'Oh yeah, I did a soap.' I say 'Tell me which one!' It's like being a member of a secret society.

Nathan Fillion
