It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind;-- but when a beginning is made-- when the felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt-- it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.

Sin, death, and hell have set their marks on him,And all their ministers attend on him.

William Shakespeare

Sometimes you want someone to accept our apology so badly. But all that we can do is hope they will, and that we can move on if they don't.

Lolalola

No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment.

Jane Austen

We achieve active mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.

Thomas Szasz

Mr. Churchill is proud of Britain's stand alone, after France had fallen and before America entered the War.

Eamon de Valera

Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power.

William Moulton Marston

An army marches on its stomach.

Napoleon Bonaparte

There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.

Alexander McQueen

There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

Vincent Van Gogh

Justice and truth are two such subtle points, that our tools are too blunt to touch them accurately. If they reach the point, they either crush it, or lean all round, more on the false than on the true.

Blaise Pascal

If a tax hike makes it to my desk, I'll veto it in less time than it takes Vanna White to turn the letters V-E-T-O!

Ronald Reagan

I have seen that technology has contributed to improved communication, that it's contributed to better health care, that it's contributed to better food supplies, that it has contributed to all the basic human needs.
