We live in a disposable society. It's easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name - we call it recycling.

Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith.

Garth Brooks

You can't go wrong with love.

Mario Vazquez

It was one of the most ancient terrors, the one that meant that no sooner had mankind learned to walk on two legs than it dropped to its knees.

Terry Pratchett

Midland City had a goddess of discord all its own. This was a goddess who could not dance, would not dance, and hated everybody at the high school. She would like to claw away her face, she told us, so that people would stop seeing things in it that had nothing to do with what she was like inside. She was ready to die at any time, she said, because what men and boys thought about her and tried to do to her made her so ashamed. One of the first things she was going to do when she got to heaven, she said, was to ask somebody what was written on her face and why had it been put there.

Kurt Vonnegut

Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Everything that used to be a sin, is now a disease.

Bill Maher

You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect.

John Green

Don't remember me as too nice or beautiful or funny, because then you'll be disappointed.

Celia Johnson

The meaning of culture is nothing less than the conduct of life itself, fortified, thickened, made more crafty and subtle, by contact with books and with art.

John Cowper Powys

The Quakers sent me books, from which I learnt how they had, years ago, established beyond doubt the duty for a Christian of fulfilling the command of non-resistance to evil by force, and had exposed the error of the Church's teaching in allowing war and capital punishment.

Leo Tolstoy

Ambition if it feeds at all, does so on the ambition of others.

Susan Sontag

Rest, rest, shall I have not all eternity to rest.

Antoine Arnauld
