I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.

Alice Walker

History overflows time. Love overflows the allowance of the world. All the vessels overflow, and no end or limit stays put. Every shakable thing has got to be shaken. In a sense, nothing that was ever lost in Port William ever has been replaced. In another sense, nothing is ever lost, and we are compacted together forever, even by our failures, our regrets, and our longings.

Wendell Berry

Christopher Marlowe

Sydney Smith

I wish all the mothers, fathers and children out there realize how much I need them and how much I value their support.

Princess of Wales Diana

Hans Urs von Balthasar

High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water.

Mark Twain

Happy girls are the prettiest

Audrey Hepburn
