I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.

A mixture of admiration and pity is one of the surest recipes for affection.

Andre Maurois

Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.

Jean Baudrillard

What will happen will happen. There is time for miracles until there is no more time, but time has no end.

Dean Koontz

Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.

Charlotte Bronte

Behold the Child among his new-born blissesA six years' Darling of a pigmy size!See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies,Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses,With light upon him from his father's eyes!See, at his feet, some little plan or chart,Some fragment from his dream of human life,Shaped by himself with newly-learned art.

William Wordsworth, Ode: Intimat

The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.

Tom Stoppard

The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.

Cyril Cusack

Oh, duty is what one expects from others, it is not what one does oneself.

Oscar Wilde

One picture is worth 1,000 denials.

Ronald Reagan

Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.

Pliny the Elder

The source of all life and knowledge is in man and woman, and the source of all living is in the interchange and the meeting and mingling of these two: man-life and woman-life, man-knowledge and woman-knowledge, man-being and woman-being.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

A society that has made nostalgia a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.

Christopher Lasch
