History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.

Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. He whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of a critic.

Samuel Johnson

Whenever the essential nature of things is analysed by the intellect, it must seem absurd or paradoxical. This has always been recognized by the mystics, but has become a problem in science only very recently.

Fritjof Capra

I think that some of our soldiers die in the battlefield and some come home to bad health and die prematurely, just by the nature of the kind of business they're in.

Christopher Shays

She'd have you spew up what you've drunk when you were out.

Caecilius

The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

George Carlin

If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When you lose something in your life, stop thinking it's a loss for you... it is a gift you have been given so you can get on the right path to where you are meant to go, not to where you think you should have gone.

Suze Orman

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Ron Fournier

Infinite hungers leap no more I in the chance swaying of your dress; and love has changed to kindliness.

Rupert Brooke

To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.

You can bend it and twist it... You can misuse and abuse it... But even God cannot change the Truth.
