It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on.

Public speaking is done in the public tongue, the national or tribal language; and the language of our tribe is the men's language. Of course women learn it. We're not dumb. If you can tell Margaret Thatcher from Ronald Reagan, or Indira Gandhi from General Somoza, by anything they say, tell me how. This is a man's world, so it talks a man's language.

Ursula K. LeGuin

I had an essence in my life that I was nothing.

Demi Moore

I think 99 percent of women's lib comes from technology making different kinds of lives possible, and then the social adjustment follows the technology - it doesn't precede it.

Lois McMaster Bujold

By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.

George Carlin

Beauty and sadness always go together. Nature thought beauty too rich to go forth Upon the earth without a meet alloy.

George MacDonald

Those questions you have? Whether he's the one, whether you feel about him the way you should, or whether the relationship is going okay? When you're not sure whether you're in love with someone or not, the answer is not.

Deb Caletti

My whole thing is to agree to disagree and to have respect because nothing can really be changed and you wouldn't want to ruin their happiness - even if that happiness is ignorance.

Katy Perry

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.

Mark Hoppus

To walk because it is good for you warps the sould, just as it warps the soul for a man to talk for hire or because he think it his duty.

Hilaire Belloc, The Footpath Way

Those sweet lips. My, oh my, I could kiss those lips all night long.Good things come to those who wait.

Jess C. Scott

In order to have wisdom we must have ignorance.

Theodore Dreiser

She imagined herself both queen and slave, dominatrix and victim. In her imagination she was making love with men of all skin colors--white, black, yellow--with homosexuals and beggars. She was anyone's, and anyone could do anything to her. She had one, two, three orgasms, one after another. She imagined everything she had never imagined before, and she gave herself to all that was most base and most pure.

Paulo Coelho
