I have grown up but that should be a positive thing. When you look at a photo album it's lovely to remember being so young but it's also good to know you grew up!

I am very slow to warm. I've always been sort of a loner. I didn't play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups.

Rooney Mara

I discovered news of old horrors in old books; read intelligence of old atrocities in old periodicals; always in the back of my mind, every day a bit louder, I heard the seashell drone of some growing, coalescing force; I seemed to smell the bitter ozone aroma of lightings-to-come.

Stephen King

Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.

Germaine Greer

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

Emo Philips

Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.

Calvin Coolidge

People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy.

Curt Flood

It is difficult, when faced with a situation you cannot control, to admit you can do nothing.

Lemony Snicket

When I was young, I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old, I know that it is.

Oscar Wilde

There is no society that does not highly value fictional storytelling. Ever.

Orson Scott Card

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.

Oprah Winfrey

The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.

Socrates

The deadly Hydra now is the hydra of Equality. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity is the three-fanged serpent.
