Russian ladies, for the most part, cherish only Platonic love, without mingling any thought of matrimony with it; and Platonic love is exceedingly embarrassing.

More than kisses, letters mingle souls.

John Donne

The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.

Emile Durkheim

I would often find myself, at the age of 21, at midnight, running down a dark street on my own with 10 men chasing me. And the fact they had cameras in their hands made that legal.

Sienna Miller

There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.

Thomas Fuller

I cannot be awake, for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake, for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.

Walt Whitman

We may be personally defeated, but our principles never.

William Lloyd Garrison

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

Johann von Goethe

Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place - that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Responsibilities are given to him on whom trust rests. Responsibility is always a sign of trust.

James Cash Penney

Great eagerness in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or honor, cannot exist without sin.

Desiderius Erasmus

It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for the future, none at all. It certainly is extraordinary, but it is certainly true.

Gertrude Stein
