I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.

Bill Watterson

Because bankers measure their self-worth in money, and pay themselves a lot of it, they think they're fine fellows and don't need to explain themselves.

James Buchan

There is a coherence in things, a stability; something... is immune from change and shines out... in the face of the flowing, the fleeting, the spectral, like a ruby.

Virginia Woolf

Let me smile with the wise, and feed with the rich.

Samuel Johnson

After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.

Henry David Thoreau

Thomas Jefferson

Some might think that George W. Bush had his shortcomings, but let me tell you something - history's going to be kind to George W. Bush.

J. C. Watts

Daniel Craig

I say that to my colleagues, by the way, in the internal Cabinet meetings, I say, 'Look, I want to be very clear about what I want.' I just - I don't want a peace process, I want a peace result.

Benjamin Netanyahu

People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship.

Keri Russell

He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.

Plato

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

Leigh Hunt
