We may seek a fortune for no greater reason than to secure the respect and attention of people who would otherwise look straight through us.

Man tells his aspiration in his God but in his demon he shows his depth of experience.

Margaret Fuller

When people reject a truth or an untruth it is not because it is a truth or an untruth that they reject it. No, if it isn't in accord with their beliefs in the first place they simply say, Nothing doing, and refuse to inspect it.

Ogden Nash

A felicidade nunca é graciosa.Happiness is never gracious.

Aldous Huxley

By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me.

William Shakespeare

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Jean Jacques Rousseau

Tom Hicks

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

No one to blame! That was why most people led lives they hated, with people they hated. How wonderful to have someone to blame! How wonderful to live with one's nemesis! You may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. You may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.

Erica Jong

There were lies we told to save ourselves, and then there were lies we told to rescue others. What counted more, the mistruth, or the greater good?

Jodi Picoult

Sovereign of beauty, like the spray she grows; Compass'd she is with thorns and canker'd bower. Yet, were she willing to be pluck'd and worn, She would be gather'd, though she grew on thorn.

Robert Greene

Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.

Victor Hugo
