Harry and Hermione are very platonic friends. But I won't answer for anyone else, nudge-nudge wink-wink!

Of all the things which wisdom acquires to produce the blessedness of the complete life far the greatest is the possession of Friendship.

I want to expand my cuisine to this country. I love America. I have been here 22 years.

Masaharu Morimoto

A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, 'where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years?' We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It's a real shame if we don't spend our lives trying to do that.

Jack Antonoff

No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.

Quintus Ennius

Marital intercourse is certainly holy, lawful and praiseworthy in itself and profitable to society, yet in certain circumstances it can prove dangerous, as when through excess the soul is made sick with venial sin, or through the violation and perversion of its primary end, killed by mortal sin; such perversion, detestable in proportion to its departure from the true order, being always mortal sin, for it is never lawful to exclude the primary end of marriage which is the procreation of children.

St. Francis De Sales

I'd like to have a good long talk with you once you've calmed down. Please call me soon. Happy Birthday.

Haruki Murakami

And this President wakes up every morning, looks out across America and is proud to announce, 'It could be worse.' It could be worse? Is that what it means to be an American? It could be worse? Of course not. What defines us as Americans is our unwavering conviction that we know it must be better.

Mitt Romney

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

William Jennings Bryan

It was a miserable machine, an inefficient machine, she thought, the human apparatus for painting or for feeling; it always broke down at the critical moment; heroically, one must force it on.

Virginia Woolf

It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of culture.

John Milton Cage

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
