Epictetus

There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.

Allan Bloom

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Art must take reality by surprise.

Francoise Sagan

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

Winston Churchill

Glimpses do ye seem to see of that mortally intolerable truth; that all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore.

Herman Melville

History doesn't repeat itself, but it harmonizes, and what it usually makes is the devil's music.

Stephen King

My wife gets pampered pretty well. She's had me trained since she was pregnant, when I started making her oatmeal with fresh berries every morning.

Michael Weatherly

The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.

Mark Twain

At a car dealership, the person who sells the car is the hero, and also gets the commission. But if the mechanics don't service that car well, the customer won't return.
