Where there is no extravagance there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding.

The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

Blaise Pascal

Here's the thing: the unit of reverence in Europe is the family, which is why a child born today of unmarried parents in Sweden has a better chance of growing up in a house with both of his parents than a child born to a married couple in America. Here we revere the couple, there they revere the family.

Brendan Francis

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Oscar Wilde

We drink one another's health and spoil our own.

Jerome K. Jerome

With the way everything's going now and the way that technology is going, you can do a lot of things with a lot of different new materials.

Carmelo Anthony

To show pity is felt as a sign of contempt because one has clearly ceased to be an object of fear as soon as one is pitied.

Friedrich Nietzsche
