I love all things Christmas.

Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.

Arthur Schopenhauer

In the end, my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time.

Suzanne Vega

To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It's easy to say no, even if it means dying.

Jean Anouilh

The things people say of a man do not alter a man. He is what he is. Public opinion is of no value whatsoever. Even if people employ actual violence, they are not to be violent in turn. That would be to fall to the same low level. After all, even in prison, a man can be quite free. His soul can be free. His personality can be untroubled. He can be at peace. And, above all things, they are not to interfere with other people or judge them in any way. Personality is a very mysterious thing. A man cannot always be estimated by what he does. He may keep the law, and yet be worthless. He may break the law, and yet be fine. He may be bad, without ever doing anything bad. He may commit a sin against society, and yet realise through that sin his true perfection.

Oscar Wilde

My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality.

Ethan Hawke

I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.

Oscar Wilde

I used to go down every year for the remembrance of Elvis' birthday. Memphis State College invited me to sit in the auditorium and speak to the people for one of those Elvis days.

Otis Blackwell

Leave the table while you still feel you could eat a little more.

Helena Rubinstein

I guess the real reason that my wife and I had children is the same reason that Napoleon had for invading Russia: it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Bill Cosby

Dreams are humans wings.

Kellie Elmore

There are older men with younger women but you don't see a lot of older women with younger men. There are some women who have been able to do it but not often.

Tori Amos

We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny.

Catherine Booth
