It was just an idea I had, that it could be cool to have a book covered in fake fur.

I stand in this parking lot, realizing that I've never been this far from home, and here is this girl I love and cannot follow. I hope this is the hero's errand, because not following her is the hardest thing I've ever done.

John Green

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.

Gustave Flaubert

Anything that can be done chemically can be done by other means.

William S. Burroughs

As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep and never to refrain when awake.

Mark Twain, 70th birthday speech

I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, 'I know how to hire someone.'

Walter Mosley

Love shall be our token love be yours and love be mine.

Christina Rossetti

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Giotto di Bondone

According to other writers, it is the women who last longest in sieges, the young men who soonest fall into that deadly lethargy that precedes actual death. But the account is accurate enough: that is what a siege is like. Moreover, that is what it is meant to be like. When a city is encircled and deprived of food, it is not the expectation of the attackers that the garrison will hold out until individual soldiers... drop dead in the streets. The death of ordinary inhabitants of the city is expected to force the hand of the civilian or military leadership. The goal is surrender; the means is not the defeat of the enemy army, but the fearful spectacle of the civilian dead.

Michael Walzer, Just and Unjust

If you steal something small you are a petty thief, but if you steal millions you are a gentleman of society.

Proverb

Heaven for climate, Hell for company.

James Barrie

Science is agnostic when it comes to God - not atheistic, as some people prefer to read that laden word wrongly - just agnostic.

Eric Chaisson

Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope.
