Music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.

But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself is his own dungeon.

John Milton

You've got to step up, Emme. They need to hear your voice, hear you. You're better than being stuck in the background.

Elizabeth Eulberg

Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice, that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom, because you're on the front lines.

Carl Hiaasen

I hate the day, because it lendeth light To see all things, but not my love to see.

Edmund Spenser

Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.

Samuel Richardson

In addition, California spends nearly $1 billion a year in Medi-Cal services for an average of 780,000 illegal immigrants a month, over and above emergency health services.

Elton Gallegly

Don't say that you want to give, but go ahead and give! You'll never catch up with a mere hope.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.

George Bernard Shaw

I really want to live in New York. That's the city of my dreams.

Joel Kinnaman

In our world of big names, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knowness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.

Daniel J. Boorstin

The most important thing for a good marriage is to learn how to argue peaceably.

Anita Ekberg

O, if thou car'st not whom I love alas, thou lov'st not me.

Donne, John
