No failure in America, whether of love or money, is ever simple it is always a kind of betrayal, of a mass of shadowy, shared hopes.

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

Mark Twain

A vow is a snare for sin

Samuel Johnson

They talk of the dignity of work. The dignity is in leisure.

Herman Melville

Woody Allen

I hope this isn't too melodramatic or self-centred a way of saying that I attempt to write as if I did not care what reviewers said, what peers thought, or what prevailing opinions may be.

Christopher Hitchens

The Bible's blind. The Torah's deaf. The Qu'ran is mute. If you burned them all together you'd get close to the truth

Conor Oberst

You are not trivial.

Cassandra Clare

We are free to yield to truth.

Horace
