Sorrow has produced more melody than mirth.

Feeling is the consciousness of the resulting conditions - of success, failure, equilibrium, compromise or balance, in this continuous rivalry of ideas.

James M. Baldwin

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

I don't know why women feel an affinity with me.

Jennifer Aniston

It is a wretched taste to be gratified with mediocrity when the excellent lies before us.

Isaac Disraeli

It seemed to a number of philosophers of language, myself included, that we should attempt to achieve a unification of Chomsky's syntax, with the results of the researches that were going on in semantics and pragmatics. I believe that this effort has proven to be a failure. Though Chomsky did indeed revolutionize the subject of linguistics, it is not at all clear, at the end the century, what the solid results of this revolution are. As far as I can tell there is not a single rule of syntax that all, or even most, competent linguists are prepared to agree is a rule.

John Searle

The devil is God's ape!

Martin Luther

Marriage! Nothing else demands so much of a man.

Henrik Ibsen

Each new friend gives rise to the possibility of anything!

Stephen Richards

The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.

John Dyer

Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.

Oscar Wilde

The thought process can never be complete without articulation.

Stephen King
