Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity.

Great minds think alike, but lovers think as one.

Pyreglide

I don't know who my grandfather was I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

Abraham Lincoln

How easily they spoke of love. And yet, when she'd needed the certainty of his feeling for her, he'd let her slip away, never able to bring himself to tell her about the ways in which he'd been changed. He'd been incapable he'd let Nenebah believe the problem lay with her.

Education must not simply teach work - it must teach Life.

W. E. B. Du Bois

I had a great time with John Duigan he's pretty amazing.

Sam Rockwell

When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know what he himself means, that is philosophy

Voltaire

The hood-winked husband shows his anger, and the word jealous is flung in his face. Jealous husband equals betrayed husband. And there are women who look upon jealousy as synonymous with impotence, so that the betrayed husband can only shut his eyes, powerless in the face of such accusations.

J. August Strindberg

Drama is based on the Mistake. I think someone is my friend when he really is my enemy, that I am free to marry a woman when in fact she is my mother, that this person is a chambermaid when it is a young nobleman in disguise, that this well-dressed young man is rich when he is really a penniless adventurer, or that if I do this such and such a result will follow when in fact it results in something very different. All good drama has two movements, first the making of the mistake, then the discovery that it was a mistake.

W. H. Auden

It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection

Voltaire

It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.

Albert Einstein

True valor lies between cowardice and rashness.

Miguel de Cervantes

I hold that the parentheses are by far the most important parts of a non-business letter.
