The Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident or for the pilgrim to see with awe. It is meant for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of incongruous intellectual food in one indigestible meal.

You don’t make art out of good intentions.

Gustave Flaubert

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

Charles Buxton

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

H. L. Mencken

I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.

Shia LaBeouf

Let a man once overcome his selfish terror at his own infinitude, and his infinitude is, in one sense, overcome.

George Santayana

No matter how long we exist, we have our memories. Points in time which time itself cannot erase. Suffering may distort my backward glances, but even to suffering, some memories will yield nothing of their beauty or their splendor. Rather they remain as hard as gems.

Anne Rice

All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.

George Bernard Shaw

I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

The secret of our emotions never lies in the bare object, but in its subtle relations to our own past.

George Eliot

She closed her eyes and jumped. For a moment she felt herself hang suspended, free of everything. Then gravity took over, and she plunged toward the floor. Instinctively she pulled her arms and legs in, keeping her eyes squeezed shut. The cord pulled taut and she rebounded, flying back up before falling again. As her velocity slowed, she opened her eyes and found herself dangling at the end of the cord, about five feet above Jace. He was grinning.'Nice', he said. 'As graceful as a falling snowflake.

Cassandra Clare

Every divorce is the result of selfishness on the part of one or the other or both parties to a marriage contract. Someone is thinking of self comforts, conveniences, freedoms, luxuries, or ease. Sometimes the ceaseless pin pricking of an unhappy, discontented, and selfish spouse can finally add up to serious physical violence. Sometimes people are goaded to the point where they erringly feel justified in doing the things that are so wrong. Nothing of course justifies sin.

Spencer W. Kimball

Prayer is mans greatest power!

W. Clement Stone
