But now with the living conditions deteriorating, and with the sure knowledge that we are slated for destruction, we have been transformed into an implacable army of liberation.

Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's scepter, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Avoid shame but do not seek glory --nothing so expensive as glory.

Sydney Smith

Life is simple. You just have to stop trying to figure it out.

Marty Rubin

Steven Wright

In the survival of favoured individuals and races, during the constantly-recurring struggle for existence, we see a powerful and ever-acting form of selection.

Charles Darwin

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?

Sun Tzu

Lawn as white as driven snow

William Shakespeare

To think, and to feel, constitute the two grand divisions of men of genius - the men of reasoning and the men of imagination.

Isaac D'Israeli

Sometimes events that lead us bereft of anything but grief just happen for no reason other than happenstance--a car turns left instead of right, a train is missed, a call comes too late--and the real test of our humanness is whether, in light of that knowledge, we are ever able to recover. When we again find our way despite the inability to manufacture a deeper meaning in our suffering, that I think is when God smiles upon us, proud of the strength of his creation.

Neil Abramson

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Most authors steal their works, or buy.

Alexander Pope

My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.
