Reality, if rightly interpreted, is grander than fiction.

I'll always be sad that my marriage ended.

Shania Twain

Where there is no religion, hypocrisy becomes good taste

George Bernard Shaw

Every step in the dark turns out in the end to have been on course after all.

John Tarrant, Bring Me The Rhino

Temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.

Washington Irving

Disillusion is a natural stage that follows the holding of an illusion.

Susan Shaughnessy

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be. If one asks the whence derives the authority of fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justifed merely by reason, one can only answer: they exist in a healthy society as powerful traditions, which act upon the conduct and aspirations and judgements of the individuals; they are there, that is, as something living, without its being necessary to find justification for their existence. They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities. One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.

Albert Einstein

Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.

Stella Benson

I don't want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.

Marilyn Monroe

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.

Paul McCartney

You cannot be a hero without being a coward.

George Bernard Shaw

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it.

Robert A. Heinlein

At a time when unbridled greed, malignant aggression, and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity, we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.

Stanislav Grof
