The headline is the most important element of an ad. It must offer a promise to the reader of a believable benefit. And it must be phrased in a way to make it memorable.

This is patently absurd but whoever wishes to become a philosopher must learn not to be frightened by absurdities.

Bertrand Russell

The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses.

Thomas Jefferson

I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.

James Lane Allen

God is not the mere dead conception to which we have thus given utterance, but he is in himself pure Life.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

The multitude will hardly believe the excessive force of education, and in the difference of modesty between men and women, ascribe that to nature, which is altogether owing to early instruction: Miss is scarce three years old, but she's spoke to every day to hide her leg, and rebuked in good earnest if she shows it; whilst little Master at the same age is bid to take up his coats, and piss like a man.

Bernard Mandeville

I will know how to hold you just by the look in your eye, I will never forget - not even on the day that I die. This is a promise of my passion for you, smile at me and make it true.

Diana Lynn

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole d--n life and one is as good as the other.

Ernest Hemingway

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.

Shirley Manson
