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

A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.

Bernard Le Bovier Fontenelle

Every day is intense and alive, whether it's travel, work, even down time, which there is so little of.

Josh Lucas

Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic.

Cesare Pavese

It was Carrot who'd suggested to the Patrician that hardened criminals should be given the chance to 'serve the community' by redecorating the homes of the elderly, lending a new terror to old age and, given Ankh-Morpork's crime rate, leading to at least one old lady having her front room wallpapered so many times in six months that now she could only get in sideways.

Terry Pratchett

John Edwards

William Ellery Channing

Few people can see genius in someone who has offended them.

Robertson Davies

Once the visitor was told rather repetitively that this city was the melting pot; never before in history had so many people of such varied languages, customs, colors and culinary habits lived so amicably together. Although New York remains peaceful by most standards, this self-congratulation is now less often heard, since it was discovered some years ago that racial harmony depended unduly on the willingness of the blacks (and latterly the Puerto Ricans) to do for the other races the meanest jobs at the lowest wages and then to return to live by themselves in the worst slums.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows.

Benjamin Franklin
