I love the old way best, the simple way of poison, where we too are strong as men.

In our dreams we are always young.

Sarah Louise Delany

Surely this is what death would be like: nothingness, oblivion, as the world continued to turn, heedless of her absence.

Meredith Duran

The overall picture, as the boys say, is of a degraded community whose idealism even is largely fake. The pretentiousness, the bogus enthusiasm, the constant drinking, the incessant squabbling over money, the all-pervasive agent, the strutting of the big shots (and their usually utter incompetence to achieve anything they start out to do), the constant fear of losing all this fairy gold and being the nothing they have never ceased to be, the snide tricks, the whole damn mess is out of this world.

Raymond Chandler

Happiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Exactly. That's what's been happening here for the past ten thousand years: You've been doing what you damn well please with the world. And of course you mean to go right on doing what you damn well please with it, because the whole damn thing belongs to you.

Daniel Quinn

What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money.

Bob Hope

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.

Michael Jackson

The creations of a great writer are little more than the moods and passions of his own heart, given surnames and Christian names, and sent to walk the earth.

William Butler Yeats

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

Ronald Reagan

There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.

Amy Grant

Beauty is more important in computing than anywhere else in technology because software is so complicated. Beauty is the ultimate defence against complexity.
