There is no human reason why a child should not admire and emulate his teacher's ability to do sums, rather than the village bum's ability to whittle sticks and smoke cigarettes.

Floyd Dell

No compliment can be eloquent, except as an expression of indifference.

George Eliot

I will be sad. I've gotten very attached to Harry and all that goes on in his world, I guess I'll just be kind of tasting every bit of it because it will be the last one.

Mary Grandpre

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

Anne Frank

The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree - those to me, are the scents of the holidays.

Blake Lively

I think that the day you've figured out the differences between women and men is the day that you're no longer attracted to women. It's the difference that is so fantastic and frustrating and angering, and really sexy.

Kiefer Sutherland

The hardest thing to do is to trust people.

Dwight Howard

Bianca Jagger

Every Age has its own peculiar faith. Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.

Giuseppe Mazzini

I want to live my life, not record it.

Jackie Kennedy

Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing.

Christopher Fry
