I kissed him hard. The few people in the bar must have been thinking that all they were seeing was just a kiss. They didn't know that this kiss stood for my whole life - and his life, as well. The life of anyone who has waited, dreamed, and searched for their true path.The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.

The minute you try to talk business with him he takes the attitude that he is a gentleman and a scholar, and the moment you try to approach him on the level of his moral integrity he starts to talk business.

Raymond Chandler

There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure, and that is pain. Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him.

Umberto Eco

Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.

Thomas Jefferson

It's just as easy to be happy with a lot of money as with a little.

Marvin Traub

It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.

Richard M. DeVos

Friends are often chosen for similitude of manners, and therefore each palliate the other's failings because they are his own.

Samuel Johnson

Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities.

Lord Dunsany

My family, you know, are all still, you know, very close. We're all still very close. Mom and Daddy are still alive. So, what more can you ask for? Your kids are healthy.

Reba McEntire

I love what I do, so it's not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I'd be dead in a week.

Karen Black

Nature creates while destroying, and doesn't care whether it creates or destroys as long as life isn't extinguished, as long as death doesn't lose its rights.

Ivan Turgenev

Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving the citizen as much freedom of action and of being as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.

James F. Cooper

Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.

Clint Eastwood
