Romance is very pretty in novels, but the romance of a life is always a melancholy matter. They are most happy who have no story to tell.

Speech is the mirror of the soul; as a man speaks, so he is.

Publilius Syrus

Our forefathers made one mistake. What they should have fought for was representation without taxation.

Fletcher Knebel

Truth would quickly cease to become stranger than fiction, once we got as used to it

Henry Louis Mencken

Only by pride comes contention; but, with the well-advised is wisdom. Proverbs 13:10

Bible

The burden therefore rests with the American legal community and with the American human-rights lobbies and non-governmental organizations. They can either persist in averting their gaze from the egregious impunity enjoyed by a notorious war criminal and lawbreaker, or they can become seized by the exalted standards to which they continually hold everyone else. The current state of suspended animation, however, cannot last. If the courts and lawyers of this country will not do their duty, we shall watch as the victims and survivors of this man pursue justice and vindication in their own dignified and painstaking way, and at their own expense, and we shall be put to shame.

Christopher Hitchens

But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.

William Hurt

I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

John Malkovich

Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce.

Claud Cockburn

The wisest reason takes as her own principles those which the imagination of man has everywhere rashly introduced.

Blaise Pascal

It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

Amanda Seyfried

Sure we're in limos. We're stars. How else is a star supposed to travel?

Deion Sanders

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland.
