Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard.

Education is not a discipline at all. Half vocational, half an emptiness dressed up in garments borrowed from philosophy, psychology, literature.

Edward Blishen

Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty.

Albert Einstein

Consider it: every person you have ever met, every person will suffer the loss of his friends and family. All are going to lose everything they love in this world. Why would one want to be anything but kind to them in the meantime?

Sam Harris

I'm so lucky that I have a great relationship.

Julianne Hough

Men exist for the sake of one another.

Marcus Aurelius

You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.

Harvey Fierstein

We dribble away our life, little by little, in small packages -- we don't throw it away all at once.

Robert A. Cook

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Oscar Wilde

Beautiful. He'd called her beautiful. Nobody had ever called her that before, except her mother, which didn't count. Mothers were required to think you were beautiful.

Cassandra Clare

The German intellect wants the French sprightliness, the fine practical understanding of the English, and the American adventure; but it has a certain probity, which never rests in a superficial performance, but asks steadily, To what end? A German public asks for a controlling sincerity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I travel, I like to take advantage of room service. I'm really into eggs Benedict in the morning.

Jenny McCarthy

It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation.

Jane Austen
