As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it. And this is the last vice to be conquered.

He who leaves nothing to chance will do few things poorly, but he will do few things.

Edward F. Halifax

I read On the Road in maybe 1959. It changed my life like it changed everyone else's.

The President to-night has a dream: He was in a party of plain people, and, as it became known who he was, they began to comment on his appearance. One of them said: He is a very common-looking man. The President replied: The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he makes so many of them.

The sun had burned through and the day had gone from dull to dazzling, yet in the west blask-satin thunderheads continued to stack up. It was as if night has burst a blood-vessel in the sky over there.

Stephen King

Every man or woman who loves Him, they hate Him too, because He's a hard God, a jealous God, He Is, what He IS, and in this world He's apt to repay service with pain while those who do evil ride over the roads in Cadillac cars. Even the joy of serving Him is a bitter joy.

Stephen King

If one has no sense of humor, one is in trouble.

Betty White

I love comedy, so you want to make them happy, make them laugh.

Delta Burke

The first kiss can be as terrifying as the last.
