It's really easy to figure out why I love what I love, the holidays and food. I know the difference between having them and not having them.

It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think?

Winona Ryder

Life should be embraced like a lover.

Rose Tremain

Vets do what doctors used to - diagnose the injury or the condition, patch it up as best they can and remind you that these things happen and that in life we are also in the midst of death.

Jane Smiley

Men employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.

Voltaire

The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.

Florence Nightingale

I do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again.

Lesley Garrett

We want to be first; not first if, not first but; but first!

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

He who is punished is never he who performed the deed. He is always the scapegoat.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Anything you can do, or dream you do, begin it: boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I certainly don't want a child of mine to be famous, or anyone I was very close to who isn't yet... It's the worst thing to be trapped in your house not be able to leave.

Elizabeth Hurley

The only discipline that last is self discipline.

Bum Phillips

Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either.

Alexander Smith
