Joy is free, unrestrained passion

If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

Moshe Dayan

All my life I've been harassed by questions: Why is something this way and not another? How do you account for that? This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.

Luis Bunuel

Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them.

P. G. Wodehouse

Prudence and justice tell me that in electricity and steam there is more love for man than in chastity and abstinence from meat.

Anton Chekhov

I grew up in a family where the internalized understanding was that the kids were going to grow up into a better world. I worry, because I don't think my kids are going to have that. The world is very scary. The world would be scary without the choices the current administration made, but they just exacerbated it. And it ticks me off. I want my kids to have a good life.

Bradley Whitford

There has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.

Zig Ziglar

Even with my divorce and with everything, I don't need money.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Frigidity is largely nonsense. It is this generation's catchword, one only vaguely understood and constantly misused. Frigid women are few. There is a host of diffident and slow-ripening ones.

Phyllis McGinley

The future, like everything else, is not what it used to be.

Paul Valery

Yeah, I try to be the best example I can be for young girls just as far as my person goes - just to uphold a good image.

Miranda Lambert

I think Gadhafi is on the mark. And up until this point in time, I think they truly want to turn this around and become a positive player with the West after years and years of terrorism and stagnation.

Curt Weldon

Accept the long night patiently, quietly, humbly, and resignedly as intended for your true good. It is not a punishment for sin committed but an instrument of annihilating egoism.

Paul Brunton
