The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.

Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. When I ride through Beverly Hills in the early morning, and all the sprinklers have turned off, the scents that wash over me are just heavenly. Being House is like flying, too. You're free of the gravity of what people think.

Hugh Laurie

It is easier for a Russian to become an atheist than for anyone else in the world.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

It is very wearing to be good

Mark Twain

Red Skelton

Nelson Rockefeller

There is not one in a hundred of either sex who is not taken in when they marry . It is, of all transactions, the one in which people expect most from others, and are least honest themselves.

Jane Austen

What it means to be human is to bring up your children in safety, educate them, keep them healthy, teach them how to care for themselves and others, allow them to develop in their own way among adults who are sane and responsibile, who know the value of the world and not its economic potential. It means art, it means time, it means all the invisibles never counted by the GDP and the census figures. It means knowing that life has an inside as well as an outside. And I think it means love.

Jeanette Winterson

A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword.

Robert Burton

Most people in this society who aren't actively mad are, at best, reformed or potential lunatics.
