Marrying into money was not a good thing for me.

When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isnt a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.

Georges Clemenceau

The sexes were made for each other, and only in the wise and loving union of the two is the fullness of health and duty and happiness to be expected.

William Hall

Tell me something only you know and make a new friend.

Dejan Stojanovic

Anybody who would like to travel as an archaeologist of mores and observe men instead of rocks could find an image of the century of Louis XV in some village in Provence, that of Louis XIV in Poitou, that of even more remote times in the far reaches of Brittany. Most of these cities have fallen from some splendor that historians, more preoccupied with dates than customs, no longer speak of, but whose memory lives on, such as in Brittany, where the national character scarcely accepts the forgetting of what this country is fundamentally about. . . All of these cities have their primitive character.

Honore de Balzac, B

The poetical impression of any object is that uneasy, exquisite sense of beauty or power that cannot be contained within itself; that is impatient of all limit; that (as flame bends to flame) strives to link itself to some other image of kindred beauty or grandeur; to enshrine itself, as it were, in the highest forms of fancy, and to relieve the aching sense of pleasure by expressing it in the boldest manner.

William Hazlitt

I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

Liz Phair

I think directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Which is, I'm an optimist that two people can be together to work out their conflicts. And that commitment, I think, might be what love is, because they both grow from their relationship.

Garry Shandling

Mungkin aja lo pikir, anak-anak dari keluarga miskin itu menderita. Tapi siapa tahu, mereka justru lebih bahagia daripada kita karena mereka nggak terikat materi.

Lexie Xu

A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.

William James

This is the thing about life I've never really understood until now: we try so hard to control it, but bad things happen anyway. The only real control is an anti-control, a letting go.
