Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful molder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage?

When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.

It was then that Marvin got religion. Not the quiet, personal kind, that involves doing good deeds and living a better life; not even the kind that involves putting on a suit and ringing' people's doorbells; but the kind that involves having your own TV network and getting people to send you money.

Terry Pratchett

People sometimes talk about the power of first impressions, and believe me, there is truth to it.

Ann Brashares

Other times you can get showy for three minutes, and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie, you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang, respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it - he is in charge of it.

Dennis Muren

Man has gone long enough, or even too long, without being man enough to face the simple truth that the trouble with man is man.

James Thurber

In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world.

What she really craved was a connection. That feeling you got when you knew you were supposed to be with someone.

J. Sterling

It was to be a day of queer experiences. He had never realized with how many miracles mere everyday life is besieged.

Walter de la Mare

Such truth as opposeth no man's profit nor pleasure is to all men welcome.

Thomas Hobbes

You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say, 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness, nutrition and emotions, but once you do, you can master them instead of them mastering you.

Brett Hoebel

I have an amazing relationship with food.

Katharine McPhee

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
