Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling.

Let common sense and common honesty have fair play, and they will soon set things to rights.

Thomas Jefferson

The secret of learning to be sick is this: Illness doesn't make you less of what you were. You are still you.

Tony Snow

The most incomprehensible thing in the world to a man, is a woman who rejects his offer of marriage!

Jane Austen

I want to be age appropriate. I don't want to be that girl you see walking away and she looks 25 and then she turns around and she looks 90.

Stevie Nicks

It must be something voluntary, something self induced - like getting drunk, or talking yourself into believing some piece of foolishness because it happens to be in the Scriptures. And then look at their idea of what's normal. Believe it or not, a normal human being is one who can have an orgasm and is adjusted to society. It's unimaginable! No question about what you do with your orgasms. No question about the quality of your feelings and thoughts and perceptions. And then what about the society you're supposed to be adjusted to? Is it a mad society or a sane one? And even if it's pretty sane, is it right that anybody should be completely adjusted to it?

Aldous Huxley

It's time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy.

Eliot Spitzer

There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow

William Shakespeare

A man with charm is an entertaining thing, and a man with looks is, ofcourse, a sight to behold, but a man with honor - ah, he is the one, dear reader, to which young ladies should flock.

Julia Quinn

I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.

Jeanette Winterson

No one should form an acquaintance with one who has an evil character. A piece of coal, if it is hot burns, and if it's cold, blackens the hands.

Hitopadesa

Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs

Friedrich Nietzsche

The person is always happy who is in the presence of something they cannot know in full. A person as advanced far in the study of morals who has mastered the difference between pride and vanity.
