The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.

Every man who has lived for fifty years has buried a whole world or even two; he has grown used to its disappearance and accustomed to the new scenery of another act: but suddenly the names and faces of a time long dead appear more and more often on his way, calling up series of shades and pictures kept somewhere, just in case, in the endless catacombs of the memory, making him smile or sigh, and sometimes almost weep.

Alexander Herzen

Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.

Scottish Proverb

Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you; Whatever we were to each other, That we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used, Put no difference in your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together. Let my name ever be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around thecorner. All is well.

Henry Scott Holland, Canon of St

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything

Albert Einstein

I'm eating a lot of organic proteins and vegetables! Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is my No. 1 priority because I'm nursing my daughter.

Lily Aldridge

Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error.

Linus Pauling

Every day offers us simple gifts when we are willing to search our hearts for the place that's right for each of us. (January 15)

Sarah Breathnach

I left my marriage knowing I'd have to work. I have.

Sarah Ferguson

We've got gays working there. If they can demonstrate long-term relationships, we make same-sex benefits available just as we do with common-law marriages. Gays are productive people. Some fly airplanes, some work in breweries.

Pete Coors

What's unnatural is homophobia. Homo sapiens is the only species in all of nature that responds with hate to homosexuality.

Alex Sanchez

People are so cheap. Everyone wants quality, no one wants to pay for it. Here's the suburban dream-- to hire great workers who are such meek morons that they don't have the guts to ask for a living wage.

Joan Bauer

I think our failure in the production of good town churches of distinctive character must have struck you often, as it has me, when contrasted with our comparative success in country churches.

George Edmund Street
