Invade me now, my ruthless friend,

Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.

Stephen King

Their [philosophers] thinking is, in fact, far less a discovery than a re-recognizing, a remembering, a return and a home-coming to a far-off, ancient common-household of the soul, out of which those ideas formerly grew: philosophizing is so far a kind of atavism of the highest order.

Friedrich Nietzsche

What was the point in crying when there was no one to comfort you? And what was worse, when you couldn't even comfort yourself?

Cassandra Clare

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

H.P. (Howard Phillips) Lovecraft

Winners lose much more often than losers. So if you keep losing but you're still trying, keep it up! You...re right on track.

Matthew Keith Groves

You know that kind of quiver that trembles around through you when you are seeing something so strange and enchanting and wonderful that it is just a fearful joy to be alive and look at it; and you know how you gaze, and your lips turn dry and your breath comes short, but you wouldn't be anywhere but there, not for the world.

Mark Twain

I hate it when people call me a teen queen.

Lindsay Lohan

Peace of mind is that mental condition in which you have accepted the worst.

Lin Yutang

The Social Security trust fund is in pretty good shape today and we should not embark upon risky, dangerous schemes which will, in fact, undermine Social Security, such as privatization.

Max Baucus

A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom.

Roald Dahl

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

Valentino Rossi

Mr. Craig was not above talking politics occasionally, though he piqued himself rather on a wise insight than on specific information.

George Eliot
