Love meant jumping off a cliff and trusting that a certain person would be there to catch you at the bottom.

It is true from early habit, one must make love mechanically as one swims; I was once very fond of both, but now as I never swim unless I tumble into the water, I don't make love till almost obliged.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

My dad served in two wars has been flying airplanes for 60 years now. He was certainly quite an inspiration.

John L. Phillips

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

Harry S. Truman

Love unrequited is violent. He loves you so much that he's turned it into hate.

Lauren DeStefano

I want people to use Perl. I want to be a positive ingredient of the world and make my American history. So, whatever it takes to give away my software and get it used, that's great.

Larry Wall

Time goes by, reputation increases, ability declines.

Dag Hammarskjold

You cannot, in human experience, rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight into the broadening day before the noon comes and the full sun is upon the landscape.

Woodrow Wilson

In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.

Johan Huizinga

Men are not against you they are merely for themselves.

Gene Fowler

My mom was so people-friendly. She was incredible. She'd go to the mall, and she'd talk to everyone. Give people a kiss on the cheek. I think if I wasn't pushed around a lot, I'd be great with people. Maybe I still can be.

Fred Couples

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

Frederick W. Faber

Will is character in action.
