Occupation is the scythe of time.

It's hard to have a bad hair day when you're famous.

Marion Jones

Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother's cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.

John Steinbeck

He would stab his best friend for the sake of writing an epigram on his tombstone.

Oscar Wilde

There were the endless birthday nights and New Year's Eves of just you in your bed and no one else. There was the welling up at weddings, the glittery eye-prick, when all the couples would get up to dance. Sometimes it felt like your heart was crazed with cracks like your grandmother's old saucers. Sometimes the sight of a Saturday afternoon couple laughing in a park would splinter it completely.

Nikki Gemmell

A little of everything and nothing thoroughly, after the French fashion.

Michel de Montaigne, Essays, I.

The only way to avoid being unhappy is to close yourself up in Art and to count for nothing all the rest.

Gustave Flaubert

It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal... one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly.

Theophile Gautier

There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going Oh God, I really love your hair.

Gavin Rossdale

One man with courage is a majority.

Thomas Jefferson

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well, semi-normal.

Johnny Depp

It's easier traveling the road of life when I don't have so much to carry on my back.

Silas Weir Mitchell

Faith is not a notion, but a real strong essential hunger, an attracting or magnetic desire of Christ, which as it proceeds from a seed of the divine nature in us, so it attracts and unites with its like.

William Law
