To make a love story, you need a couple of young people, but to reflect on the nature of love, you're better off with old ones. That is a fact of life and literature - and of the novel ever since it fell in love with love in the 18th century.

General Musharraf needs my participation to give credibility to the electoral process, as well as to respect the fundamental right of all those who wish to vote for me.

Benazir Bhutto

Abstinence sows sand all over The ruddy limbs and flaming hair, But desire gratified Plants fruits of life and beauty there.

William Blake

If acknowledging that racial misgivings and misunderstandings are still a part of politics and life in America, I plead guilty.

Ron Fournier

Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.

Bret Easton Ellis

To do an evil act is base. To do a good one without incurring danger, is common enough. But it is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds though he risks everything in doing them.

Plutarch

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

Mark Twain

Construed as turf, home just seems a provisional claim, a designation you make upon a place, not one it makes on you. A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling. But to me they are also inert and nostalgic and unlikely to connect you to the real, to that essence art can sometimes achieve, which is permanence.

Richard Ford

If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign.

George W. Bush

There is, after all, no moral difference between the bigot and the tolerator. They are from case to case positive or negative.

Criss Jami

The opposite of interpersonal trust is not mistrust. It is despair. This is because we have given up on believing that trustworthiness and fulfillment are possible from others. We have lost our hope in our fellow humans.

David Richo

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

Greek Proverb

Marriage, even the best marriages are tough.
