If any man has drunk a little too deeply from the cup of physical pleasure; if he has spent too much time at his desk that should have been spent asleep; if his fine spirits have become temporarily dulled; if he finds the air too damp, the minutes too slow, and the atmosphere too heavy to withstand; if he is obsessed by a fixed idea which bars him from any freedom of thought: if he is any of these poor creatures, we say, let him be given a good pint of amber-flavored chocolate... and marvels will be performed.

I care not for these ladies, That must be wooed and prayed; Give me kind Amaryllis, The wanton country maid. Nature art disdaineth; Her beauty is her own.

Elizabeth Gilbert

I think in general, romantic comedies tend to take one person's point of view, but every once in a while you get something that is balanced for two people.

Sandra Bullock

If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.

Abraham Maslow

Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look at what they can do when they stick together.

When millions applaud you seriously ask yourself what harm you have done; and when they disapprove you, what good.

Charles Caleb Colton

Hope is a waking dream.

Aristotle

I studied literature design and fashion design.

Danielle Steel

I wish my parents hadn't made me feel that how I looked was linked to how much they loved me. But I do also see how hard it must be to see your child pile on the pounds and trust they'll find their own way back to a healthy weight.
