my good qualities are under your protection, and you are to exaggerate them as much as possible; and, in return, it belongs to me to find occasion for teasing and quarreling with you as often as may be...

Wit is cultured insolence.

Aristotle

We are unusual and tragic and alive.

Dave Eggers

Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.

Lydia Lunch

Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.

Barbara de Angelis

The faith I was born into formed me.

Huston Smith

When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science.

William Thomson

An apology? Bah! Disgusting! Cowardly! Beneath the dignity of any gentleman, however wrong he might be.

Baroness Emmuska Orczy

Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your Living room by people you wouldn't have in your house.

David Frost

No one is listening until you make a mistake.

Anon.

Talent does what it can; genius does what it must.

Edward George BulwerLytton

Quit worrying about your health. It'll go away.

Robert Orben

Truth to me was dead, God had never lived, life was full of pain, and death was the end of life. As a young Atheist, I sincerely believed that man had created God to fill the gaps in knowledge that would never be spanned by experience, reason, or science. In 1983 the God who pursues those who deny him interrupted my existence, he captured my soul with raw love. Two decades later, God's tangible friendship still amazes me. To deny his existence I'd have to first deny my own.
