If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.

Success will be within your reach only when you start reaching out for it.

Stephen Richards

I may not be better than other people, but at least I'm different.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.

Elias Canetti

An appreciation for irony.

Christopher Hitchens

True beauty springs from the heart and dwells in the eyes.

Judith McNaught

Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you.

Jane Austen

We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one

Voltaire

We too, must shatter the mirrors. We must look in to ourselves and root out the distortions until that thing which we know in our hearts is perfect and true, stands before us.

Garth Stein

We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.

William Osler

The poets aim is either to profit or to please, or to blend in one the delightful and the useful. Whatever the lesson you would convey, be brief, that your hearers may catch quickly what is said and faithfully retain it. Every superfluous word is spilled from the too-full memory.

Horace

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

Marilyn Monroe

I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.

Malcolm Muggeridge
