G. K. Chesterton

Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real horror vacuum.

J. August Strindberg

The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.

David Mamet

Whatever a woman's reason may say, her feelings tell her the truth.

Stefan Zweig

Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt.

George Sewell

Haste is of the Devil.

St. Jerome

I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.

Charles M. Schulz

Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
