You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.

Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.

Sigmund Freud

Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning, you throw on your suspenders, and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand, usually, and sing into a tape recorder.

Tom Waits

Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

Plato

Laws are never as effective as habits.

Adlai Stevenson

Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Those who believe in God because their experience of life and the facts of nature prove his existence must have led sheltered lives and closed their hearts to the voice of their brothers' blood.

Walter Kaufmann

Women, as some witty Frenchman once put it, inspire us with the desire to do masterpieces and always prevent us from carrying them out.

Oscar Wilde

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

Alex Kapranos

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Golda Meir

Marilyn vos Savant

Simone Elkeles

If you're in love, love to the limit; and if you hate, why hate like the devil and if it's a fight you're in, get where it's hottest and fight like hell - if you don't life's not worth the living.
