Oh well... I'd just been thinking, if you had died, you'd have been welcome to share my toilet.

To see and feel one's beloved naked for the first time is one of life's pure, irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.

Dan Simmons

Duty is heavy as a mountain but Death is lighter than a feather.

How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.

The reciprocal civility of authors is one of the most risible scenes in the farce of life.

Samuel Johnson

At the beauty of what she had stumbled onto, at the fear that something terrible would happen because she was not vigilant enough. She cried at the fear of something so good that she would not be brave enough to bear it.

Now, having had this experience, I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show, it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.

Liza Minnelli

The best writing is not about the writer, the best writing is absolutely not about the writer, it's about us, it's about the reader.

Ben Okri

A good newspaper is a nation talking to itself.

Arthur Miller

I could as easily bail out the Potomac River with a teaspoon as attend to all the details of the army.

All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared.

Ben Affleck

Superstition is the only religion of which base souls are capable of.

Joseph Joubert

If you think of this world as a place intended simply for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable:think of it as a place for correction and it's not so bad. Imagine a set of people all living in the samebuilding. Half of them think it is a hotel, the other half think it is a prison. Those who think it a hotel might regard it as quite intolerable, and those who thought it was a prison might decide that it wasreally surprisingly comfortable. So that what seems the ugly doctrine is one that comforts and strengthens you in the end. The people who try to hold an optimistic view of this world would becomepessimists: the people who hold a pretty stern view of it become optimistic

C.S. Lewis
