Flatterers look like friends, as wolves like dogs.

Private property began the instant somebody had a mind of his own.

e. e. (Edward Estlin) cummings

It's no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, 'Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.' By then, pigs will be your style.

Quentin Crisp

One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon

A.L. Williams

If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.

Lewis Carroll

Trust me, if I were gay I'd be getting more action than I'm getting now.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.

Leonard Cohen

Produce great pumpkins, the pies will follow later.
