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?

Man's chief enemy is his own unruly nature and the dark forces put up within him.

Ernest Jones

Get away from the crowd when you can. Keep yourself to yourself, if only for a few hours daily.

Temptation is the feeling we get when encountered by an opportunity to do what we innately know we shouldn't.

Steve Maraboli

The best introduction by far to representation of the human figure in art. The Nude is a beautifully written work of sophisticated connoisseurship that analyzes art in its own terms rather than imposing strident, politicized categories on it. It outlines the major body types, male and female, in Western art and, via a wealth of illustrations, trains the reader's eye to detect and evaluate proportion. This book reveres art

Camille Anna Paglia, From an art

Pack, clouds, away! and welcome, day! With night we banish sorrow. Sweet air, blow soft; mount, lark, aloft To give my Love good-morrow! Wings from the wind to please her mind, Notes from the lark I'll borrow: Bird, prune thy wing! nightingale, sing!

Thomas Heywood

Bible

Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do.

Mel Gibson

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see The pretty follies that themselves commit, For if they could, Cupid himself would blush To see me thus transformed to a boy

William Shakespeare

Heads know that failing to invest in good, nutritious food is a false economy and parents won't tolerate reconstituted turkey being put back on the menu.

Jamie Oliver

When people see some things as beautiful,other things become ugly.When people see some things as good,other things become bad.

the world is not a pleasant place to be without someone to hold and be held by.
