Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they're better than other human beings.

I'm hurt, hurt and humiliated beyond endurance, seeing the wheat ripening, the fountains never ceasing to give water, the sheep bearing hundreds of lambs, the she-dogs, until it seems the whole country rises to show me its tender sleeping young while I feel two hammer-blows here instead of the mouth of my child.

Federico Garcia Lorca

Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.

Mark Twain

Golf isn't just my business, it's my hobby.

Lee Trevino

What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.

Benjamin Spock

Sooner or later even the fastest runners have to stand and fight.

Stephen King

My mom breastfed me for more than a year, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It's cheap and much better for the environment, and you don't have to lug all that stuff around.

JeanLuc Godard

My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.

Eliza Dushku

He was not worthy, not... Their eyes for a moment met. What treasures hers promised! A queen's ransom of temperament. Hastily he looked away, disengaged his imprisoned arm. He was obscurely terrified lest she should cease to be something he could feel himself unworthy of.

Aldous Huxley

Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm an algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive.
