No great movement designed to change the world can bear to be laughed at or belittled. Mockery is a rust that corrodes all it touches.

Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter; only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal.

George Orwell

The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.

Francis Bacon

Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.

Don Marquis

Again, the truth of the matter is we haven't paid that much attention to high school accountability.

Margaret Spellings

Teen movies often have an unspoken underlying premise in which high school is seen as less serious than the adult world. But when your head is encased in that microcosm it's the most serious time of your life.

Rian Johnson

What people don't realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules -- don't take somebody else's boyfriend unless you've been specifically invited to do so, don't take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.

W. H. Auden

When mistrust comes in, love goes out.

Irish Sayings

If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power.

Imre Lakatos

I share the opinion of those of broader vision, who see in the signs of the time hope of humanity for peace.

Frank B. Kellogg

And I'm not very coordinated, either. Only on ice skates, not in real life.

Julie Benz

People who ask for your criticism want only praise.

W. Somerset Maugham

I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon. The moon runs away. But imagine if a man each day should have to try to kill the sun? We are born lucky. Yes, we are born lucky.

Ernest Hemingway
