Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.

Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine.

Christina Rossetti

In all Thénardier's outpourings, the words and gestures, the fury blazing in his eyes, this explosion of an evil nature brazenly exposed, the mixture of bravado and abjectness, arrogance, pettiness, rage, absurdity; the hodgepodge of genuine distress, and lying sentiment, the shamelessness of a vicious man rejoicing in viciousness, the bare crudity of an ugly soul -- in this eruption of all suffering and hatred there was something which was hideous as evil itself and still as poignant as truth.

Victor Hugo

You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don't agree with, or find disagreeable, so it's important to stress that balance.

William Hague

The body is a sacred garment.

Martha Graham

To ask women to become unnaturally thin is to ask them to relinquish their sexuality.

Naomi Wolf

We of the twentieth century should not allow ourselves to think vaguely of the Middle Ages as a benighted or shadowy period when life and the people who constituted it had scarcely anything in common with ourselves. In reality the men of the Middle Ages were moved by the same emotions and impulses as our own, and their lives presented the same incongruous mixture of nobility and baseness.

Robert Huntington Fletcher, A Hi

The only way you can be successful on a post or win at it is to be at cause over it.

L. Ron Hubbard

I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.

Thomas Jefferson

The issues that matter to me are the social safety nets for people, health care, middle-class concerns. We need to take care of the middle class and the poor in our country.

Tim McGraw

The greatest saving one can make in the order of thought is to accept the unintelligibility of the world -- and to pay attention to man.

Albert Camus

No phenomenon can be isolated, but has repercussions through every aspect of our lives. We are learning that we are a fundamental part of nature's ecosystems.

Arthur Erickson

If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy
