I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.

All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.

Plutarch

We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny.

Catherine Booth

So I'd be quite happy to have a three-hour Lincoln-Douglas-style debate with Barack Obama. I'd let him use a teleprompter. I'll just rely on knowledge. We'll do fine.

Newt Gingrich

In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, a lack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit?

Aubrey Beardsley

Clint Eastwood

The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well, after a while you don't get to make any more movies.

Joaquin Phoenix

Sometimes you cry, Susie, even when someone you love has been gone a long time.

Alice Sebold

You can never get enough of what you don't want.

Wayne Dyer
