We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn't matter so much as it seemed to do -- it's not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn't matter so much.

John Hodgman

Of the best rulers, The people only know that they exist; the next best they love and praise the next they fear; and the next they revile.

Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet them on your way down.

Wilson Mizner

Our hearts were drunk with a beauty Our eyes could never see.

George William Russell

I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.

Karl Lagerfeld

But the lover's power is the poet's power. He can make love from all the common strings with which this world is strung.
