Je suis vivant. Et pendant que je mange, je ne fais rien d'autre que manger. Quand je marcherai, je marcherai, c'est tout. Et s'il faut un jour me battre, n'importe quel jour en vaut un autre pour mourir. Parce que je ne vis ni dans mon passé ni dans mon avenir. Je n'ai que le présent, et c'est lui seul qui m'intéresse. Si tu peux demeurer toujours dans le présent, alors tu seras un homme heureux.

Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature.

Marilyn Monroe

What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

George Bernard Shaw

Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.

Edmund Burke

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

Pablo Picasso

The contrasts between what is spent today to educate a child in the poorest New York City neighborhoods, where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages, and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail.

Jonathan Kozol

I think I am really irreverent and I pretty much just talk to and about men the way men talk to and about women.

Kesha

In private life I never knew anyone interfere with other people's disputes but he heartily repented of it.

Thomas Carlyle

One grave in every graveyard belongs to the ghouls. Wander any graveyard long enough and you will find it - water stained and bulging, with cracked or broken stone, scraggly grass or rank weeds about it, and a feeling, when you reach it, of abandonment. It may be colder than the other gravestones, too, and the name on the stone is all too often impossible to read. If there is a statue on the grave it will be headless or so scabbed with fungus and lichens as to look like fungus itself. If one grave in a graveyard looks like a target for petty vandals, that is the ghoul-gate. If the grave wants to make you be somewhere else, that is the ghoul-gate.

Neil Gaiman

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

I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order; --poetry = the best words in the best order.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

It is good to pray for the repair of mistakes, but praying earlier would keep us from making so many. When puzzled, go to prayer and listen.

J. C. Macaulay

School is practice for future life, practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, so why practice?

Billie Joe Armstrong
