Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions.

A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.

Alfred Tennyson

Good wine is a necessity of life for me.

Thomas Jefferson

What I love about Brooklyn is there are more wonderful little joints than anywhere.

Arthur Schwartz

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.

Ludwig van Beethoven

I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them.

Boris Pasternak

A transfer of money should never be involved in this profound situation. Although illness is profound, too, but medicine's a business today. It's a business.

Jack Kevorkian

It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.

Queen Elizabeth

I had a great time making the last movie, 'Eclipse.' We shot my back-story stuff from the 1930's. But I was waiting for 'Breaking Dawn' because I love the relationship Rosalie has with Jacob and the rest of her family and Bella. She also provides comic relief.

Nikki Reed

The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Uma virtude deve ser nossa invenção, nossa defesa e nossa necessidade pessoais: tomada em qualquer outro sentido, não passa de um perigo. Aquilo que não é uma condição vital é prejudicial ? vida: uma virtude que não existe senão por causa dum sentimento de respeito pela ideia de «virtude», como Kant a queria, é perigosa. A «virtude», o «dever», o «bem em si», o bem como carácter da impersonalidade do valor geral - quimeras onde se exprime a degenerescência, o último enfraquecimento da vida, a chinesice de Conisberga.

Friedrich Nietzsche

If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.

Jennifer Jones

I'm not a music lover in the sense that I look for something to have on. I've never had that attitude to music.

Harrison Birtwistle
