If somebody says, I love you, to me, I feel as though I had a pistol pointed at my head. What can anybody reply under such conditions but that which the pistol-holder requires? I love you, too.

The past is an old armchair in the attic, the present an ominous ticking sound, and the future is anybody's guess.

James Thurber

May he who is highest serve best.

Robert Thibodeau

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.

Ernest Hemingway

Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course.

Helen Rowland

Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level.

Robert Moog

It is a false and dangerous situation which bases public power on private want, and roots the grandeur of the State in the suffering of the individual. It is a badly constituted grandeur which combines all the material elements, and into which no moral element enters.

Victor Hugo

Karl was no glamour boy. But even during this first meeting I discovered he had something better. The kind of intelligence that's more attractive than physical beauty.

Aidan Chambers

Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.

Erich Segal

It is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear.

Edward H. Harriman

The mind can make substance, and people planets of its own with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

A.A. Milne

I think in general, romantic comedies tend to take one person's point of view, but every once in a while you get something that is balanced for two people.

Sandra Bullock
