It is extraordinary how the house and the simplest possessions of someone who has been left become so quickly sordid. Even the stain on the coffee cup seems not coffee but the physical manifestation of one's inner stain, the fatal blot that from the beginning had marked one for ultimate aloneness.

What a deformed thief this fashion is

William Shakespeare

I don't trust Santa Barbara as far as I can spit. I am afraid that if I went back there, it's possible that I could be run through their system, their judicial system, and wind up in some county jail where I could be killed and I'm not gonna take that chance.

Randy Quaid

Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.

Ovid

It isn't what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future. (J.)

Paulo Coelho

You spend months barely acknowledging someone's existence and then BOOM, you're emotionally addicted to her. Science would probably blame it on chemicals, genetics or something equally logical, but it didn't feel like anything logical

C.K. Kelly Martin

Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation, the world, supplied the first model, while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals, but like God Himself, if I may venture to say it.

Giorgio Vasari

Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.

Uma Thurman

It's amazing how coke encompasses everything in your life. Addicts cannot confront life because they only think of their next hit. I ruined life for my parents, my sister and all my friends.

Kirstie Alley

Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.

Kahlil Gibran

Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth we fully flower in heaven.

Russell M. Nelson

The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.

Brian Tracy
