Wine is bottled poetry.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Yet Byron never made tea as you do, who fill the pot so that when you put the lid on the tea spills over. There is a brown pool on the table--it is running among your books and papers. Now you mop it up, clumsily, with your pocket-hankerchief. You then stuff your hankerchief back into your pocket--that is not Byron; that is so essentially you that if I think of you in twenty years' time, when we are both famous, gouty and intolerable, it will be by that scene: and if you are dead, I shall weep.

Virginia Woolf

Everybody's a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We're all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.

David Cronenberg

You must have love as the core it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.

Kenny Loggins

If any man wish to write in a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts; and if any would write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My grandmother and I saw an average of eight movies a week, double features, second run.

Carol Burnett

I really appreciate family. I really can't imagine life without them!

Ice Cube

How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.

Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.

Karen Kaiser Clark

Love is inseparable from knowledge.

St. Macarius of Egypt

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.

Winston Churchill

You can forget trying to climb the success ladder, all you will ever need in life is brought to you in the Cosmic Ordering elevator.

Stephen Richards
