A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong.

Henry Adams

Advice in old age is foolish for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

Martin Luther

Let each man exercise the art he knows.

Aristophanes

I've never met a person I couldn't call a beauty.

Andy Warhol

Dreams have only the pigmentation of fact.

Djuna Barnes

What makes America amazing is that there have always been men and women of courage who were willing to think more about the future of their children and grandchildren than they did about their own political careers.

Scott Walker

It's much easier on the emotions when one sees life as an experiment rather than a struggle for popularity.

Criss Jami

The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.

Colin R. Davis

Oh Doris Lessing, my dear -- your Anna is wrong about orgasms. They are no proof of love -- any more than that other Anna's fall under the wheels of that Russian train was a proof of love. It's all female shenanigans, cultural mishegoss, conditioning, brainwashing, male mythologizing. What does a woman want? She wants what she has been told she ought to want. Anna Wulf wants orgasm, Anna Karenina, death. Orgasm is no proof of anything. Orgasm is proof of orgasm. Someday every woman will have orgasms -- like every family has color TV -- and we can all get on with the real business of life.

Erica Jong

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.

John Barrymore
