The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.

Maynard James Keenan

After I lost my fiance, it seemed like it would be better to always be alone than to risk being hurt again.

Nancy Grace

The entire Jesus concept, that human sacrifice should be the substratum of a moral religion of love, strikes me as incongruous. God condemned us and Jesus saved us, and they are actually the same being? Christianity is the idea that you are so abhorrent that God had to kill himself. He had to embody the human form and send himself on a bizarre suicide mission just to revoke the disgustingness of the humans he created. I balk at suggestions that these ideas dictate to the concepts of morality and love.

Trevor Treharne

Literary confessors are contemptible, like beggars who exhibit their sores for money, but not so contemptible as the public that buys their books.

W. H. Auden

The eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

Robertson Davies

I have never acted he has never been cast in a romantic lead or has been cast opposite a female love interest in any movie he starred in.

Morgan Freeman

Of course (said Oryx), having a money value was no substitute for love. Every child should have love, every person should have it. . . . but love was undependable, it came and then it went, so it was good to have a money value, because then at least those who wanted to make a profit from you would make sure you were fed enough and not damaged too much. Also there were many who had neither love nor a money value, and having one of these things was better than having nothing.

Margaret Atwood

I don't think I can answer questions about the trust fund.

Louise Woodward

My dad has been married to his wife for 15 years and wherever he goes there better be a seat for her. I like real couples that tell you how to get through on Wednesdays when you're just at the end of your rope - the ones who really know how to make it through. We have to stop looking at Hollywood couples because you're going to get disappointed.

Sherri Shepherd

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Francis Quarles

If you and the people with whom you are engaged are willing to dance with the infinite potential dimensions of "truth," you can move to a place where you actively explore all perspectives to find common ground and creative solutions.

Dwight Frindt

Nature is always behind the age
