Nice work in there, Herondale, setting the place on fire, Gabriel observed. Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the shreds of your reputation. Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain intact? Will demanded with mock horror. Clearly I have done something wrong. Or not doing something wrong as the case may be. He banged on the side of the carriage. Thomas! We must away at once to the nearest brothel! I seek scandal and low companionship.

For his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It's like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God, look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too, but for me, they're, like, entire movies. And they show them on cable.

John Cusack

One of the things the government can't do is run anything. The only things our government runs are the post office and the railroads, and both of them are bankrupt.

Lee Iacocca

The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.

Sir Winston Churchill

Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth; whilst on the surface of this world, all things are weighed by the false scale of custom

Lord Byron

I always hated high-school shows and high-school movies, because they were always about the cool kids. It was always about dating and sex, and all the popular kids, and the good-looking kids. And the nerds were super-nerdy cartoons, with tape on their glasses. I never saw 'my people' portrayed accurately.

Paul Feig

The suffering of either sex -- of the male who is unable, because of the way in which he was reared, to take the strong initiating or patriarchal role that is still demanded of him, or of the female who has been given too much freedom of movement as a child to stay placidly within the house as an adult -- this suffering, this discrepancy, this sense of failure in an enjoined role, is the point of leverage for social change.

Margaret Mead

I love the feel of hitting the ball hard, the pleasure of a rally. It is these things that make tennis the delightful game that it is.

Helen Wills Moody

Don't be afraid to take a big step. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.

David Lloyd George

He thought others were small; that was his greatness.

Dejan Stojanovic

Death is not the biggest fear we have our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

There are two sighs of relief every night in the life of an opera manager. The first comes when the curtain goes up The second sigh of relief comes when the final curtain goes down without any disaster, and one realizes, gratefully, that the miracle has happened again.
