It is not their love for men but the impotence of their love for men which hinders the Christians of today from burning us

Friedrich Nietzsche

It is very natural for young men to be vehement, acrimonious and severe. For as they seldom comprehend at once all the consequences of a position, or perceive the difficulties by which cooler and more experienced reasoners are restrained from confidence, they form their conclusions with great precipitance. Seeing nothing that can darken or embarrass the question, they expect to find their own opinion universally prevalent, and are inclined to impute uncertainty and hesitation to want of honesty, rather than of knowledge.

Samuel Johnson

Evil can be a teacher, if you look at the wisdom of its negative power.

Tom Brown, Jr.

Our heart has its reasons that reason cannot know.

Blaise Pascal

Let us do or die.

Robert Burns

Luck is being in the right place at the right time, but location and timing are to some extent under our control.

Kelly Osbourne

If you work at comedy too laboriously, you can kill what's funny in the joke.

Richard Russo

Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.

Stephen Swid

Traveling in other countries is especially fun because others often attribute your differences to the less-stigmatizing idea that you're like this only because you're a foreigner.

Michael John Carley

Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.

Rainer Maria Rilke
