I have never been hurt by what I have not said.

Calvin Coolidge

Surely life, if it be not long, is tedious, since we are forced to call in the assistance of so many trifles to rid us of our time, of that time which never can return.

Sometimes, the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters. She is 100% true. She puts on no shows, because she is so comfortable with herself.

I'm not really cool, or dashing, or any of those things.

Scott Thompson

Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country, and I said, 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

William Makepeace Thackeray

As long as you have capital punishment there is no guarantee that innocent people won't be put to death.

Paul Simon

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

Albert Camus

I have occasionally had the exquisite thrill of putting my finger on a little capsule of truth, and heard it give the faint squeak of mortality under my pressure.
