How do we know that our life really happened and that we are not simply accumulating details, making it all up as we go along?

I start thinking about life after death. I've got to quit thinking about it because it's very deep. Very deep. Sometimes you start thinking about it, and you don't feel like you want to be alive, so I don't like to get all quiet.

David Ortiz

Candidly, I believe most corporations actually don't mind big government.

Rick Santorum

Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others. As long as its spell lasts, the only in-between which can insert itself between two lovers is the child, love's own product. The child, this in-between to which the lovers now are related and which they hold in common, is representative of the world in that it also separates them; it is an indication that they will insert a new world into the existing world. Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.

Hannah Arendt

Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual.

Charles Caleb Colton

Two households, both alike in dignityIn fair Verona, where we lay our sceneFrom ancient grudge break to new mutinyWhere civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foesA pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrowsDo with their death bury their parents' strife.

William Shakespeare

The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject, but man only.

Thomas Hobbes

I came from a real tough neighborhood. On my street, the kids take hubcaps from moving cars.

Rodney Dangerfield

It is exactly our sense of haste and impatience that impedes us from seeing the true beauty life has to offer.

People had this image of the Jacksons as the perfect American family and I destroyed that image. But what people have to understand is writing that book was very healing for me.

LaToya Jackson

I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.

Thomas Jefferson

You cannot be a hero without being a coward.

George Bernard Shaw

To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.
