I'm so an all-or-nothing person in dating, always. I'm big on not wasting time. And so, yeah, if something's not working, it's time to not hold people back.

I have made a lot of mistakes falling in love, and regrettedmost of them, but never the potatoes that went with them.

Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. Theylay there and looked at each other. Their families came andtook them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence,they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to eachother. One of them looked at the other and said, So. What didyou think?

I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!

Alanis Morissette

Go on thinking that you don't need to be read and you'll find that it may become quite true: no one will feel the need tom read it because it is written for yourself alone and the public won't feel any impulse to gate crash such a private party.

Dylan Thomas

Meredith is a prose Browning, and so is Browning. He used poetry as a medium for writing in prose.

Oscar Wilde

We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others.

Matthew Simpson

Those Romans who perpetrated the rape of the Sabines, for example, did not work themselves up for the deed by screening Debbie Does Dallas, and the monkish types who burned a million or so witches in the Middle Ages had almost certainly not come across Boobs and Buns or related periodicals.

Barbara Ehrenreich

No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet
