Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.

Books are men of higher stature; the only men that speak aloud for future times to hear.

E.S. Barrett

A poet without love were a physical and metaphysical impossibility.

Thomas Carlyle

Team sports aren't my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don't need a partner to go running, you don't need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.

Haruki Murakami

College isn't the place to go for ideas.

Helen Keller

When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.

Oscar Wilde

Sometimes I cry in my dreams, and I wake up because my pillow is sopping wet. Was I sobbing in my sleep? Hardly. But I was drooling.?

Jarod Kintz

Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.

John Oliver Hobbes

People can refute your facts, but never your feelings.

Sharon Anthony Bower

For such will be our ruin if you, in the immensity of your public abstractions, forget the private figure, or if we in the intensity of our private emotions forget the public world. Both houses will be ruined, the public and the private, the material and the spiritual, for they are inseparably connected.

Virginia Woolf

Actually, the streets are quite safe today, it's the people on them who aren't.

Source Unknown

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.

Katharine Hepburn

I'm a Cancerian, the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty, but I can take it if someone doesn't like my music - I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

Katherine Jenkins
