She was so intelligent that she could think herself into beauty. Intelligence...they don't talk about it much, the poets, but when a woman is intelligent and passionate and good...

The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again.

Walter Benjamin

That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groan, of human beings so tied together by common needs and fears that a twitch at one wrist jerks another, where however strange your experience other people have had it too, where however far you travel in your own mind someone has been there before you - - is all an illusion. We do not know our own souls, let alone the souls of others. Human beings do not go hand in hand the whole stretch of the way. There is a virgin forest in each; a snowfield where even the print of birds' feet is unknown. Here we go alone, and like it better so. Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable.

Virginia Woolf

My fear... is my substance, and probably the best part of me.

Franz Kafka

I call architecture frozen music.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There ain't nothing that breaks up homes, country, and nations like somebody publishing their memoirs.

Will Rogers

When you have kids, you just love them. It's similar to when you're in love with someone. You just think they are so cool and want to be around them all the time, but what if she starts being embarrassed and only giving me charity visits? I want her to actually want to see me, so that's what I'm going for!

Jeremy Sisto

But the both agreed that it's always nice to know that your wife is desired by another man, although they wouldn't go any further than that.

Paulo Coelho

It ain't braggin' if you can back it up.

Dizzy Dean

Tolerance it a tremendous virtue, but the immediate neighbors of tolerance are apathy and weakness.

Sir James Goldsmith

Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.

Thomas Fuller

If someone tells you you're not beautiful, turn around and walk away so they canhave a great view of your fabulous ass.

Miley Cyrus

Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.

William Shakespeare
