I've considered having my nose fixed. But I didn't trust anyone enough. If I could do it myself with a mirror.

There is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.

Jean Paul Sartre

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

Audrey Hepburn

People say I'm not good at writing about men. My dad left when I was 16. Give me a break. I'm doing the best I can.

Jennifer Weiner

Always have an air of expectancy.

Stephen Richards

Every living sentence which shows a mind at work for itself is to be welcomed. It is not the first use but the tiresome repetition of inadequate catch words which I am observingphrases which originally were contributions, but which, by their very felicity, delay further analysis for fifty years. That comes from the same source as dislike of noveltyintellectual indolence or weaknessa slackening in the eternal pursuit of the more exact.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Maud Muller, on a summer's day, Raked the meadows sweet with hay. Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth Of simple beauty and rustic health.

John Greenleaf Whittier

Stephenson had large wrought-iron boiler plates available and he also had the courage of his calculations... The idea found its best-known expression in the Menai railway bridge opened in 1850. Stephenson's beams, which weighed 1,500 tons each, were built beside the Straits and were floated into position between the towers on rafts across a swirling tide. They were raised rather over a hundred feet up the towers by successive lifts with primitive hydraulic jacks. All this was not done without both apprehension and adventure; they were giants on the earth in those days.

J.E. Gordon

You can find lots of people like you through technology, and women in particular like communities.

Carly Fiorina

Always when I see a man fond of praise I always think it is because he is an affectionate man craving for affection.

J. B. Yeats, Letters to His Son,

There is always something left to love. And if you ain't learned that, you ain't learned nothing. Have you cried for that boy today? I don't mean for yourself and for the family 'cause we lost the money. I mean for him; what he's been through and what it done to him. Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most; when they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you ain't through learning -- because that ain't the time at all. It's when he's at his lowest and can't believe in hisself 'cause the world done whipped him so. When you starts measuring somebody, measure him right child, measure him right. Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valleys he come through before he got to wherever he is.

Lorraine Hansberry, from the pla

History is a race between education and catastrophe.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend - provided, of course, that he really is dead.

Voltaire
