Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Jean-Paul Sartre

If we had learnt about self love from a young age, we wouldn' t be searching for love outside ourselves

Valquiria Oliveira

With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping homeliness entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all sentiment is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called the Public, the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.

Percy Wynham Lewis

I was a great dreamer of day dreams.

Abraham Cahan

I don't think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn't at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

Jimmy Carter

Those that do you a very ill deed will never forgive you.

Proverb

I love writers all across the board, but one who influenced me very directly at the beginning was Mary Renault.

Tanith Lee

Peace is its own reward.

Mahatma Gandhi

Should we grieve over a little misplaced charity, when an all knowing, all wise Being showers down every day his benefits on the unthankful and undeserving?
