Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We woman have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man's last romance.

Try as you may, you can never defy love.

Emery Lee

The song Venus de Milo, the whole subject of it is Love is a drug.

Tom Verlaine

It is in the mind and the heart where we meet. It's not the body-the body will change.

Amber Valletta

A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.

Ralph Nader

The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.

Andrew Carnegie

It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man's hand.

Sir Arthur Eddington

Manhood begins when we have in any way made truce with Necessity; begins even when we have surrendered to Necessity, as the most part only do; but begins joyfully and hopefully only when we have reconciled ourselves to Necessity; and thus, in reality, triumphed over it, and felt that in Necessity we are free.

Thomas Carlyle

Conscientious people are apt to see their duty in that which is the most painful course.

George Eliot

Now that I'm staring down the barrel of the last act of my life, I'm less excited about control and solo effort, and I resent the way the business aspects interfere with my space for creative writing.

David Knopfler

When I was younger, many of my romantic escapades were just a means of simply avoiding being by myself. I was afraid of feeling lonely, afraid I wouldn't know what to say to myself.

Michael Zaslow

No wonder lasts over three days.

Proverb

In my own time there have been inventions of this sort, transparent windows tubes for diffusing warmth equally through all parts of a building short-hand, which has been carried to such a perfection that a writer can keep pace with the most rapid speaker. But the inventing of such things is drudgery for the lowest slaves; philosophy lies deeper. It is not her office to teach men how to use their hands. The object of her lessons is to form the soul.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)
