Nature abhors the old, and old age seems the only disease; all others run into this one.

People stumble over the truth from time to time,but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

Winston Churchill

This eternal accusation against Christianity I shall write upon all walls, wherever walls are to be found--I have letters that even the blind will be able to see. . . . I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough,--I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race...

Friedrich Nietzsche

She was so intelligent that she could think herself into beauty. Intelligence...they don't talk about it much, the poets, but when a woman is intelligent and passionate and good...

Eva Ibbotson

Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Patience is the support of weakness; impatience the ruin of strength

Charles Caleb Colton

If you're lucky like me, your relationship with your brother has resolved itself on the peaceful side of the fence and has stayed there. But if you're someone who's got a family that's all fractured and finding it hard to relate, that's a very sad place to be.

Tom Hardy

Acting is a life experience. I'm always learning things when I'm making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.

Kate Bosworth

I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind.

J.K. Rowling

The best safety lies in fear.

William Shakespeare

I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims.

Timothy Radcliffe

Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature; but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapor, a drop of water is enough to kill him. But even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows nothing of this.

Blaise Pascal

Now, neighbor confines, purge you of your scum! Have you a ruffian that will swear, drink, dance, revel the night, rob, murder, and commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways?

William Shakespeare
