Henceforth an individual solace dear; Part of my Soul I seek thee, and thee claim My other half: with that thy gentle hand Seisd mine, I yielded, and from that time see How beauty is excelld by manly grace.

Some men demand rough treatment everywhere!

S. C. Hall

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.

Norman Vincent Peale

The U.S. government knew that China wanted to acquire sensitive U.S. technology, and instead of implementing a policy to prevent them from acquiring the information, the government all but gave them an invitation to take our equipment and designs.

Charles Foster Bass

They say, 'The coward dies many times'; so does the beloved. Didn't the eagle find a fresh liver to tear in Prometheus every time it dined?

C.S. Lewis

You know what gets me?... How everybody says fuck and shit all the time. I used to be scared shitless if I'd say fuck or shit in public, by accident. Now everybody says fuck and shit, fuck and shit all the time. Something very big must have happened while we were out of the country.

Kurt Vonnegut

A woman is sometimes fugitive, irrational, indeterminable, illogical and contradictory. A great deal of forbearance ought to be shown her, and a good deal of prudence exercised with regard to her, for she may bring about innumerable evils without knowing it. Capable of all kinds of devotion, and of all kinds of treason, monster incomprehensible, raised to the second power, she is at once the delight and the terror of man.

Henri Frederic Amiel

The 'Net is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it.

William Gibson

True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read; and in so living as to make the world happier and better for our living in it.

Pliny the Elder

A James Cagney love scene is one where he lets the other guy live.

Bob Hope

No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why.

Mignon McLaughlin

Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.

Oscar Wilde

New ideas should confront old ideas. We must refer to the example of Europe. People have fought to make Europe what it is today. Freedom is not something that is served up on a plate.
