The man who finds that in the course of his life he has done a lot of wrong often wakes up at night in terror, like a child with a nightmare, and his life is full of foreboding: but the man who is conscious of no wrongdoing is filled with cheerfulness and with the comfort of old age.

Mankind is like dogs, not gods - as long as you don't get mad they'll bite you - but stay mad and you'll never be bitten. Dogs don't respect humility and sorrow.

Jack Kerouac

When you step onto that field, you cannot concede a thing.

Gale Sayers

The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning, a sitting on the throne at noon, a pageant in the evening.

Wallace Stevens

You don't learn style from watching people on a runway. Fashion happens every morning when you wake up.

Shalom Harlow

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

Blaise Pascal

Somewhere, things must be beautiful and vivid. Somewhere else, life has to be beautiful and vivid and rich. Not like this muted palette -a pale blue bedroom, washed out sunny sky, dull green yellow brown of the fields. Here, I know ever twist of every road, every blade of grass, every face in this town, and I am suffocating.

Lisa Ann Sandell

I am not so much inclined to wonder that marriage is sometimes unhappy, as that it appears so little loaded with calamity; and cannot but conclude that society has something in itself eminently agreeable to human nature, when I find its pleasures so

Samuel Johnson

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.

Doug Floyd

Optimist: Day-dreamer more elegantly spelled

Mark Twain

Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader. Don't fall victim to what I call the Ready- Aim-Aim-Aim Syndrome. You must be willing to fire.

T. Boone Pickens

All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man no society will survive a shortage of women.

Germaine Greer

I do find comedy difficult. I don't know why. Maybe I think about it too much. There's a tremendous amount of pressure to be funny.

Michelle Pfeiffer
