When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.

Chris O'Dowd

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

C.S. Lewis

Socialism appeals to better classes and has far more strength. Attack the state and you excite feelings of loyalty even among the disaffected classes but attack the industrial system and appeal to the state, and you may have loyalty in your favor.

John Bates Clark

Beware of one who has nothing to lose.

Italian Proverb

To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words. Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.

George Orwell

Excuse me if I'm clinging on to life, but my parents wove me from tight thread.

Jeanne Calment

Dear Friend,Please be patient with me; I need to grieve in my own way and in my own time.Please don't take away my grief or try to fix my pain. The best thing you can do is listen to me and let me cry on your shoulder. Don't be afraid to cry with me. Your tears will tell me how much you care.Please forgive me if I seem insensitive to your problems. I feel depleted and drained, like an empty vessel, with nothing left to give.Please let me express my feelings and talk about my memories. Feel free to share your own stories of my loved one with me. I need to hear them.Please understand why I must turn a deaf ear to criticism or tired clichhttp://www.grievinggodsway.com/

Margaret Brownley

Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I trust my mum with anything. If I have a problem, my mum is always the first person I go to.

Richard Fleeshman

Reach for it. Push yourself as far as you can.

Christa McAuliffe

I brought a mirror to Lovers' Lane. I told everybody I'mNarcissus.

Steven Wright

Man is a genius when he is dreaming.
