Pippa's laugh is bitter, tinged with tears. 'Ha! Why do girls think being beautiful will solve every problem? Being beautiful just creates problems. It's a misery. I wish I were someone else.

No one can really honestly be the very best, no one.

John Wooden

In our own time we have seen domination spread over the social landscape to a point where it is beyond all human control. Compared to this stupendous mobilization of materials, of wealth, of human intellect, of human labor for the single goal of domination, all other recent human achievements pale to almost trivial significance. Our art, science, medicine, literature, music and charitable acts seem like mere droppings from a table on which gory feasts on the spoils of conquest have engaged the attention of a system whose appetite for rule is utterly unrestrained.

Murray Bookchin

Poetry is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls.

Voltaire

It's more like Christmas, you know, when you get a shot in that looks great and it's exactly what you want. It's a great feeling, and there's nothing like it.

Zack Snyder

The art of being sick is not the same as the art of getting well.

Tony Snow

If anything needs to get fixed in society, it's people's consumption of other people's problems.

Corey Feldman

The commonest and cheapest sounds, as the barking of a dog, produce the same effect on fresh and healthy ears that the rarest music does. It depends on your appetite for sound. Just as a crust is sweeter to a healthy appetite than confectionery to a pampered or diseased one.

Henry David Thoreau

Marriage, laws, the police, armies and navies are the mark of human incompetence.

Dora Russell

The independent girl is a person before whose wrath only the most rash dare stand, and, they, it must be confessed, with much fear and trembling.

Lou Henry Hoover

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

J. K. Rowling

Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.

John F. Kennedy

The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.

Charles de Gaulle
