That fear may reach all, punish but few.

Human brutes, like other beasts, find snares and poison in the provision of life, and are allured by their appetites to their destruction.

Jonathan Swift

The obese is in a total delirium. For he is not only large, of a size opposed to normal morphology: he is larger than large. He no longer makes sense in some distinctive opposition, but in his excess, his redundancy.

Jean Baudrillard

I'd like to work with any actress from whom I can learn-one who has had many experiences with many directors and is willing to share some of her knowledge with me.

Fred Savage

Elizabeth Janeway

A wedding is a funeral where you smell your own flowers.

Eddie Cantor

Cruelty is a tyrant that's always attended with fear.

Thomas Fuller

Then, like an old-time orator impressively he rose; I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes.

Sara Teasdale

Greed is all right, by the way I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.

Ivan F. Boesky

Jean Paul Richter

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.

William Wordsworth

It takes three to make a child.

e. e. (Edward Estlin) cummings

I carry from my mother's womb a fanatic's heart.

William Butler Yeats
