So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea.

I knew a girl that was so ugly that... She has a face like a saintA saint Bernard!

Rodney Dangerfield

Industrial man --a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.

Aldous Huxley

Innocent amusements are such as excite moderately, and such as produce a cheerful frame of mind, not boisterous mirth; such as refresh, instead of exhausting, the system; such as recur frequently, rather than continue long; such as send us back to our daily duties invigorated in body and spirit; such as we can partake of in the presence and society of respectable friends; such as consist with and are favorable to a grateful piety; such as are chastened by self-respect, and are accompanied with the consciousness that life has a higher end than to be amused.

William Ellery Channing

Life is not accountable to us. We are accountable to life.

Denis Waitley

Miserable creatures, thrown for a moment on the surface of this little pile of mud, is it decreed that one half of the flock should be the persecutor of the other? Is it for you, mankind, to pronounce on what is good and what is evil?

Marquis de Sade

Measure not by the scale of perfection the meager product of reality.

Friedrich von Schiller

I equally dislike the favor of the public with the love of a woman -- they are both a cloying treacle to the wings of independence.

John Keats

Iraq is just a symbol of the attitude of western democracies to the rest of the world.

Harold Pinter

O, while you live, tell truth, and shame the Devil!

William Shakespeare

The cause of my life has been to oppose superstition. It's a battle you can't hope to win - it's a battle that's going to go on forever. It's part of the human condition.

Christopher Hitchens

I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

There is such a thing as perfection...and our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth....Each of us is in truth an unlimited idea of freedom. Everything that limits us we have to put aside.

Richard Bach
