Men with secrets tend to be drawn to each other, not because they want to share what they know but because they need the company of the like-minded, the fellow afflicted.

Don DeLillo

Caitlín R. Kiernan

Everything that happens to you matters to me.

Cassandra Clare

One good husband is worth two good wives, for the scarcer things are, the more they are valued.

Benjamin Franklin

C.S. Lewis

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

Christopher Morley

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.

Iggy Pop

Samuel Johnson

Frank McCourt

Perhaps I am still very much of an American. That is to say, na?ve, optimistic, gullible. In the eyes of a European, what am I but an American to the core, an American who exposes his Americanism like a sore. Like it or not, I am a product of this land of plenty, a believer in superabundance, a believer in miracles.

Henry Miller

Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose.

Albert Schweitzer

We seldom call anybody lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some service.

Bernard Mandeville
