It struck me while I was sitting here; everything changes but the sea.

William B. Davis

She did not want to talk of her sorrow, but with that sorrow in her heart she could not talk of outside matters.

Leo Tolstoy

A woman asking Am I good? Am I satisfied? is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.

Barbara Cartland

Once the good man was dead, one wore his hat and another his sword as he had worn them, a third had himself barbered as he had, a fourth walked as he did, but the honest man that he was -- nobody any longer wanted to be that.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed.

C.S. Lewis

In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.

Arthur Miller

I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.

Molly Ivins

In bad fortune hold out, in good hold in.

Proverb

As contagion of sickness makes sickness, contagion of trust can make trust.

Marianne Moore

To retire is to die.

Pau (Pablo) Casals

Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all.

Pericles

A young man is a theory, an old man is a fact.
