If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see yourself as continually hard up, that is exactly what you will be.

MY THEORY: the trouble is in the mind, for the body is only the house for the mind to dwell in . . . If your mind has been deceived by some invisible enemy into a belief, you have put it into the form of a disease, with or without your knowledge. By my theory or truth I come in contact with your enemy and restore you to health and happiness.

Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, Comple

The film depends on the audience's belief in this relationship.

Ralph Fiennes

But then they danced down the street like dingledodies, and shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes Awww!.

Jack Kerouac, On The Road, 1957

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts.

Graham Kerr

The slow arrow of beauty. The most noble kind of beauty is that which does not carry us away suddenly, whose attacks are not violent or intoxicating (this kind easily awakens disgust), but rather the kind of beauty which infiltrates slowly, which we carry along with us almost unnoticed, and meet up with again in dreams; finally, after it has for a long time lain modestly in our heart, it takes complete possession of us, filling our eyes with tears, our hearts with longing. What do we long for when we see beauty? To be beautiful. We think much happiness must be connected with it. But that is an error.

Friedrich Nietzsche

There must be a goal at every stage of life! There must be a goal!

Maggie Kuhn

Policymakers have to make judgments based on the best intelligence they get.

Frank Carlucci

Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.

W. L. George

Crime to many is not crime but simply a way of life. If laws are inconvenient, ignore them, they don't apply to you.

Dick Francis

Know how to garnish food so that it is more appealing to the eye and even more flavorful than before.
