FAT. My wife is so fat that when she lays on the beach the people feel sorry for her and try to roll her back into the water.

Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex.

Karl Marx

When I see someone who is starved, they don't look alert. They don't have boundless energy. If you're too skinny, it looks like you're near death.

Kirstie Alley

The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Happiness is a by product of an effort to make someone else happy.

Gretta Brooker Palmer

You can no more give what you haven't learned than you can come back from a place you've never been.

Source Unknown

At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.

Clarence Darrow

Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.

Frances Hodgson Burnett

What you get free costs too much.

Jean Anouilh

We are still waging Peloponnesian wars. Our control of the material world and our positive science have grown fantastically. But our very achievements turn against us, making politics more random and wars more bestial.

George Steiner

More will sometimes be demanded of you than is reasonable. Bear it meekly, and exhaust your time and strength in performing your duties, rather than in vindicating your rights. Be silent, even when you are misrepresented. Turn aside when opposed, rather than confront opposition with resistance. Bear and forbear, not defending yourselves, so much as trusting to your works to defend you. Yet, in counselling you thus, I would not be understood to be a total non-resistant;a perfectly passive, non-elastic sand-bag, in society; but I would not have you resist until the blow be aimed, not so much at you, as, through you, at the sacred cause of human improvement, in which you are engaged,a point at which forbearance would be allied to crime.

Horace Mann

There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table; what is national is no longer science.

Anton Chekhov

A book, too, can be a star 'explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly.

Madeleine L'Engle
