Oh lovers! be careful in those dangerous first days! once you've brought breakfast in bed you'll have to bring it forever, unless you want to be accused of lovelessness and betrayal.

The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.

Joseph Addison

I care for you. I want to make life safer and better for you.

Kathleen Blanco

Never forget:we walk on hell,gazing at flowers.

Kobayashi Issa

All you Westerosi make a shame of loving. There is no shame in loving. If your septons say there is, your seven gods must be demons. In the isles we know better. Our gods gave us legs to run with, noses to smell with, hands to touch and feel. What mad cruel god would give a man eyes and tell him he must forever keep them shut, and never look at all the beauty in the world?

George R.R. Martin

If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration, we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together, but I think when the prosperous nations, and in particular the U.S., realize they're wrecking their own kids' lives, there will be a mass change in value.

Kim Stanley Robinson

Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy.

Dag Hammarskjold

A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next, but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next.

Neale Donald Walsch

I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.

C.S. Lewis

You know, a dog can snap you out of any kind of bad mood that you're in faster than you can think of.

Jill Abramson

A dreamer, a good man, a kind man who cared less for his plan than for the people in it.

Orson Scott Card

Profaneness is a brutal vice. He who indulges in it is no gentleman.

Edwin Hubbell Chapin

It looks to me to be narrow and pedantic to apply the ordinary ideas of criminal justice to this great public contest. I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.

Edmund Burke, Works, vol. II, p.
