You shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh.

I've considered having my nose fixed. But I didn't trust anyone enough. If I could do it myself with a mirror.

Barbra Streisand

The eyes of the soul of the multitudes are unable to endure the vision of the divine

Plato

The truth is, when I got started in this business, it wasn't because I had a full understanding of the importance of the business, but because I thought it was fun. I found it exciting. It fulfilled me, whatever it was that I was looking for.

Sam Donaldson

When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.

I. F. Stone

This imputation of inconsistency is one to which every sound politician and every honest thinker must sooner or later subject himself. The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion.

James Russell Lowell

He lives most life whoever breathes most air.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time; the articulate audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream.

Thomas Carlyle

If you play bridge badly you make your partner suffer, but if you play poker badly you make everybody happy.

Joe Laurie Jr.

You know what a woman's curiosity is

Oscar Wilde

She had been given a wonderful gift: life. Sometimes it was cruelly taken away too soon, but it's what you did with it that counted, not how long it lasted.

Cecelia Ahern

In good company there is never such discourse between two, across the table, as takes place when you leave them alone. In good company, the individuals merge their egotism into a social soul exactly coextensive with the several consciousnesses there present. No partialities of friend to friend, no fondnesses of brother to sister, of wife to husband, are there pertinent, but quite otherwise. Only he may then speak who can sail on the common thought of the party, and not poorly limited to his own. Now this convention, which good sense demands, destroys the high freedom of great conversation, which requires an absolute running of two souls into one.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I will be the one to leave you. David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary
