How selfhood begins with a walking away, and love is proved in the letting go.

The weakness of the enemy makes our strength.

American Indian Proverb, Cheroke

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

Benjamin Franklin

Coming to terms with the rhythms of women's lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.

Margaret Mead

People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.

Joan Rivers

A man can go from being a lover to being a stranger in three moves flat but a woman under the guise of friendship will engage in acts of duplicity which come to light very much later. There are different species of self-justification.

Anita Brookner

I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams.

Ayumi Hamasaki

I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life.

Paula Deen

I have discovered nothing new, I have only perceived what I already knew.

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

e. e. (Edward Estlin) cummings

Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.

Samuel Johnson

I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction.

Wesley Snipes

And what holds good of verse holds infinitely better in respect to prose.

James Payn
