It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.

Send forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.

Charles Dickens

You believe what your eyes want to believe!

Santosh Kalwar

And the wild regrets, and the bloody sweats, None knew so well as I: For he who lives more lives than one More deaths than one must die.

Oscar Wilde

We are not created equal in talent. But the place where we are least equal is the heart. You can work at a talent, take lessons, but love, love either works or it doesn't. You love someone or you don't. You can't change it. You can't undo it.

Laurell K Hamilton

We usually lose today, because there has been a yesterday, and tomorrow is coming.

Johann von Goethe

Secrecy is the first essential in affairs of the State.

Cardinal De Richelieu

I visited the Gymnasium in The Hague and passed my final examination (in the sciences section) in 1943.

Simon van der Meer

Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.

William Shakespeare

Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm always open to a relationship, but I'm not putting those feelers out there now.

Charlize Theron

Borrowers of books --those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.

Charles Lamb

The experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet

Ralph Waldo Emerson
