I felt ashamed for what I had done. I don't have any excuses. I did what I did. I take full responsibility for myself and my actions. I wouldn't pawn this off on anybody. I'm sorry it happened. And I hurt people.

My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.

Helen Keller

Billie Jean King

she felt this thing that she called life terrible, hostile, and quick to pounce on you if you gave it a chance. There were the eternal problems: suffering; death; the poor. There was always a woman dying of cancer even here. And yet she had said to all these children, You shall go through with it.

Virginia Woolf

William Shakespeare

The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I love her none the less because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.

Charles Dickens

Rush Limbaugh

David Levithan

Samuel Johnson

Michel de Montaigne

The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.

Benjamin Disraeli

Butterflies... not quite birds, as they were not quite flowers, mysterious and fascinating as are all indeterminate creatures.
