You were a lord if you had a horse...Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances. . . . The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action, in man.

Sometimes you ask God for something and you don't know what you're asking.

Mahalia Jackson

Evil being the root of mystery, pain is the root of knowledge.

Simone Weil

Did not learned men, too, hold, till within the last twenty-five years, that a flying dragon was an impossible monster? And do we not now know that there are hundreds of them found fossil up and down the world? People call them Pterodactyles: but that is only because they are ashamed to call them flying dragons, after denying so long that flying dragons could exist.

Charles Kingsley

A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect.

Walter Scott

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.

Alexander Pope

Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.

Grace Noll Crowell

Pig, n. An animal (Porcus omnivorus) closely allied to the human race by the splendor and vivacity of its appetite, which, however, is inferior in scope, for it sticks at pig.

Ambrose Bierce

You love me?''Baby, you were made for me.

Kristen Ashley

I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.

Woody Allen

Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.

Novalis Hardenberg

If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.

Rabindranath Tagore

And I say also this. I do not think the forest would be so bright, nor the water so warm, nor love so sweet, if there were no danger in the lakes.

C.S. Lewis
