There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.

Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea.

Madalyn Murray O'Hair

It is marvellous in its mastery over that delightfully fortuitous inconsequence that is the adamantine logic of dreamland.

James Russell Lowell, regarding

I think, though, if I had to look at the role of government and what it does in people's lives, I see the EEOC as having much more legitimacy than the others, if properly run.

Clarence Thomas

I do not bring forgiveness with me, nor forgetfulness. The only ones who can forgive are dead the living have no right to forget.

I don't know why Sinclair Lewis fell in love with me. He didn't get even the slightest response from me. But his letters were lovely. And the poems he wrote me were lovely. I used some of them in my book.

Fay Wray

I'm honest about the journey I've been on, so I definitely don't take dating lightly anymore.

Demi Lovato

Success in the majority of circumstances depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.

Charles de Montesquieu

I took the dog out for a walk tonight, and together we wandered across the meadow next door. It was a warm summer's night, dark, and moonless. There were a handful of fireflies flickering intermittently, some so close to me I could see they were burning green as they flew, and some further away, who seemed to be flashing white.And in the sky above them a continual roil of distant summer lightning (the storm distant enough that it was silent) burned and flashed and illuminated the clouds. It seemed as if the lightning bugs were talking to the lightning, in a perfect call and response of flash and counterflash. I watched the sky and the meadow flash and flash while the dog walked ahead of me, and realised that I was perfectly happy...

Neil Gaiman

You have to go broke three times to learn how to make a living.

Makeup is no different than clothes and accessories - it's embellishments for your face. And it also gives you creative freedom. You get to have that moment in front the mirror every morning and give yourself self-love. You're making yourself up beautiful, which is essentially self-love.

IQ is a commodity, data is a commodity. I'm far more interested in watching people interact at a restaurant with their smartphone. We can all read 'Tech Crunch,' 'Ad Age.' I would rather be living in the trenches. I would rather be going to Whole Foods in Columbus Circle to watch people shop with their smartphones.

Gary Vaynerchuk

I love my fellow creatures -- I do all the good I can -- yet everybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!
