The feet are the gateway to 10,000 illnesses.

What she really craved was a connection. That feeling you got when you knew you were supposed to be with someone.

J. Sterling

The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.

J. M. Synge

To you I'm an atheist to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.

Woody Allen

Here she tossed her foot impatiently, and showed an inch or two of calf. A sailor on the mast, who happened to look down at the moment, started so violently that he missed his footing and only saved himself by the skin of his teeth. 'If the sight of my ankles means death to an honest fellow who, no doubt, has a wife and family to support, I must, in all humanity, keep them covered,' Orlando thought. Yet her legs were among her chieftest beauties. And she fell to thinking what an odd pass we have come to when all a woman's beauty has to be kept covered lest a sailor fall from a mast-head.

Virginia Woolf

I don't care what people say. My music's, my music.

Enrique Iglesias

We have made men proud of most vices, but not of cowardice. Whenever we have almost succeeded in doing so, God permits a war or an earthquake or some other calamity, and at once courage becomes so obviously lovely and important even in human eyes that all our work is undone, and there is still at least one vice of which they feel genuine shame. The danger of inducing cowardice in our patients, therefore, is lest we produce real self-knowledge and self-loathing, with consequent repentance and humility.

C.S. Lewis

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.

Carrie P. Snow

Temptation is not to be feared, but controlled.

Deborah Brodie

More particularly, having a largely German-oriented education has made me very responsive to 19th-century German literature.

John le Carre

Great is the hand that holds dominion over man by a scribbled name.

Dylan Thomas

I don't have to do a lot to my eyebrows. My mom always told me not to pluck them, which is great advice.

Arizona Muse

A wise man turns chance into good fortune.

Thomas Fuller
