Tutti gli animali sono uguali, ma alcuni sono più uguali degli altri

George Orwell

In philosophy class I think we finally decided that 'good' is an infinitely recursive term - it can't be defined except in terms of itself. Good is good because it's better than bad, though why it's better to be good than bad depends on how you define good, and on and on.

Thomas Moore

Isadora Duncan

In any war story, but especially a true one, it's difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen. What seems to happen becomes its own happening and has to be told that way. The angles of vision are skewed. When a booby trap explodes, you close your eyes and duck and float outside yourself. .. The pictures get jumbled, you tend to miss a lot. And then afterward, when you go to tell about it, there is always that surreal seemingness, which makes the story seem untrue, but which in fact represents the hard and exact truth as it seemed.

Tim O'Brien

Steven Wright

Oscar Wilde

When you walk on a court, clear your mind of everything unrelated to the goal of playing the match as well as you can.

Stan Smith

Marrying is easy, it's housework that's hard.

Proverb

I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.

Clive Owen

One of the biggest mistakes girls can make concerning their romantic life is sitting around waiting for their prince to find them, rather than getting out there and finding him themselves.
