There is just one life for each of us: our own.

We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

Bernard Meltzer

I think as - all in all, it's better to have a cool president than a not cool president.

Jonah Goldberg

When I am at home, I never go near the synagogue unless, say, there is a bar or bat mitzvah involving the children of friends. But when I am traveling, in a country where Jewish life is scarce or endangered, I often make a visit to the shul.

Christopher Hitchens

Directing is: you're overwhelmed the whole time. Your mind never stops. If you care about it. You wake up in the morning and you begin thinking about it and then you go to sleep at night and you're still thinking about it.

Campbell Scott

A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.

Xenophon

You feel, I suppose, that, in losing Isabella, you lose half yourself: you feel a void in your heart which nothing else can occupy.? Society is becoming irksome; and as for the amusements in which you were wont to share at Bath, the very idea of which without her is abhorrent.? You would not, for instance, now go to a ball for the world.? You feel that you have no longer any friend to whom you can speak with unreserve; on whose regard you can place dependence; or whose counsel, in any difficult, you could rely on.

Jane Austen

All life is in vain, for Death makes a nonsense of pain.

Gasmaskman

In response to gibes from Quebec sports announcers: out of ugly, I think the most important thing to do in life is to make something beautiful

Johnny Weir

Johnson observed, that he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney.

Samuel Johnson

The merciful precepts of Christ will at last suffuse the Code and it will glow with their radiance. Crime will be considered an illness with its own doctors to replace your judges and its hospitals to replace your prisons. Liberty shall be equated with health. Ointments and oil shall be applied to limbs that were once shackled and branded. Infirmities that once were scourged with anger shall now be bathed with love. The cross in place of the gallows: sublime and yet so simple.

Victor Hugo

A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.

Charles Baudelaire
