My parents still treat Christmas like I'm thirteen years old.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

Benjamin Franklin

I well believe it, to unwilling ears;None love the messenger who brings bad news.

Sophocles

We were called The Toilets originally - we were flushed with success.

Mike Peters

The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of decency. The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.

Percy Wynham Lewis

I appreciate life, talk a lot, love to laugh, and am very optimistic.

Kiana Tom

At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

William Congreve

Créer, c'est vivre deux fois.

Albert Camus

Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story.

Jeanne Moreau

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

William Blake

Fools have a habit of believing that everything written by a famous author is admirable. For my part I read only to please myself and like only what suits my taste.

Voltaire

There's definitely evidence that capitalism at its most ruthless rewards psychopathic behavior. When you look at the worst corners of the American health insurance industry or the sub-prime banking market, it really feels like the more psychopathically someone behaves, the more it's rewarded.
