I would forget it fain,But oh, it presses to my memory,Like damnèd guilty deeds to sinners' minds.*I would be glad to forget about it, but it weighs on my memory like sins linger in guilty minds.*

Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

Jennifer Aniston

Now the proper good of a creature is to surrender itself to its Creator - to enact intellectually, volitionally and emotionally, that relationship which is given in the mere fact of its being a creature when it does so, it is good and happy.

C.S. Lewis

Life is a predicament which precedes death.

Henry James

Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are limited and God is unlimited.

C.S. Lewis

There is but one philosophy and its name is fortitude! To bear is to conquer our fate.

Edward George BulwerLytton

As we turn through the pages of the press and the periodicals, as we catch the flash of billboards along the railroads and the highways, all of which have become enormous vehicles of the advertising art, I doubt if we realize at all the impressive part that these displays are coming more and more to play in modern life... We see that basically it is that of education...It makes new thoughts, new desires, new actions...Rightfully applied, it is the method by which desire is created for better things. Desire, in turn, is the crucial element separating the civilized from the uncivilized. The uncivilized make little progress because they have few desires. The inhabitants of our country are stimulated to new wants in all directions. In order to satisfy their constantly increasing desires, they necessarily expand their productive powers. They create more wealth because it is only by that method that they can satisfy their wants. It is this constantly enlarging circle that represents the increasing circle of civilization.

Calvin Coolidge, quoted in Frank

Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.

Truman Capote

Language is the archives of history...Language is fossil poetry.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In all societies, it is advisable to associate if possible with the highest; not that the highest are always the best, but because, if disgusted there, we can descend at any time; but if we begin with the lowest, to ascend is impossible.

Charles Caleb Colton

We mistake politics for legislative debate. You can be passionate without being personal.

Richard Dreyfuss
