False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.

I grant we should add a third category: that of the true healers. But it is a fact one doesn't come across many of them, and anyhow it must be a hard vocation. That's why I decided to take, in every predicament, the victim's side, so as to reduce the damage done. Among them I can at least try to discover how on attains to the third category; in other words, to peace.

Albert Camus

Be moved by a person's actions, not their words. Remember a sugar-coated lie sounds more convincing than the naked truth.

Angeline M. Bishop

The childish and savage taste of men and women for new patterns keeps how many shaking and squinting through kaleidoscopes that they may discover the particular figure which this generation requires to-day. The manufacturers have learned that this taste is merely whimsical. Of two patterns which differ only by a few threads more or less of a particular color, the one will be sold readily, the other lie on the shelf, though it frequently happens that after the lapse of a season the latter becomes the most fashionable. Comparatively, tattooing is not the hideous custom which it is called. It is not barbarous merely because the printing is skin-deep and unalterable.

Henry David Thoreau

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

Blaise Pascal

For me, my business is my business and my house is my house. I don't want the public in my house.

Heidi Klum

Love your neighbor, yet pull not down your hedge.

English Proverb

The significance of life is living.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

A poem in form still has to have voice, gesture, a sense of discovery, a metaphoric connection, as any poetry does.

Robert Morgan

Hope is a very thin diet.

Thomas Shadwell

Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.

Woody Allen

My nonviolence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving dear ones unprotected. Between violence and cowardly flight, I can only prefer violence to cowardice. I can no more preach nonviolence to a coward than I can tempt a blind man to enjoy healthy scenes.

Mahatma Gandhi, The Gospel of No

There was no religion in my life growing up. Did God invent us or did we invent God?

Eddie Izzard
