Willa Cather

Many strokes overthrow the tallest oaks.

John Lyly

The word Love means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and Ave Maria like dearest is a phrase to open a letter.

Graham Greene

Ambrose Bierce

There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.

Silence is an ornament for women.

Sophocles
