False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

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

Oscar Wilde

But to be perfectly frank, this childish idea that the author of a novel has some special insight into the characters in the novel...it's ridiculous. That novel was composed of scratches on a page, dear. The characters inhabiting it have no life outside of those scratches. What happened to them? They all ceased to exist the moment the novel ended.

John Green

I have no race prejudice. I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed, I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being -- that is enough for me; he can't be any worse.

Mark Twain

Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn.

William Shakespeare

Robertson Davies

Kurt Vonnegut

But with the steady disintegration of the family in modern society over the last century, the role of the school in bridging the gap has become vital!

Stephen Covey

Weight Watchers is not intimidating. It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle.

Jessica Simpson

Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

Jim Rohn

I love to play for audiences that are simply made of people rather than so-called special people.
