Sovereign of beauty, like the spray she grows; Compass'd she is with thorns and canker'd bower. Yet, were she willing to be pluck'd and worn, She would be gather'd, though she grew on thorn.

You know that everyone thinks that in order to do South Park we must be wild, crazy, rock and roll stars. But the truth is we're just wholesome middle-American guys. We enjoy soda pop, baseball and beating up old people just as much as anybody.

Trey Parker

The basic problem with my love relationships with women is that my standards are so high - and they apply equally to both of us. I seek full-blast mutual intensity, fully fledged mutual acceptance, full-blown mutual flourishing, and fully felt peace and joy with each other.

Cornel West

Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.

John Clayton

So many people suffer from abuse, and suffer alone.

Pamela Stephenson

Love before marriage is absolutely necessary.

Samuel Richardson

To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.

Confucius

It's more fun to experience things when you don't know what's going to happen.

Louis C. K.

But however measurable, there is much more life in music than mathematics or logic ever dreamed of.

Gabriel Marcel

Like Confucius of old, I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and the angels. I have enough for this life. If there is no other life, then this one has been enough to make it worth being born, myself a human being.

Pearl Buck, I Believe, 1939

Vincent Cassel

If people see the Capitol going on, it is a sign we intend the Union shall go on.

Abraham Lincoln

Colon has always thought that heroes had some special kind of clockwork that made them go out and die famously for god, country and apple pie, or whatever particular delicacy their mother made. It had never occurred to him that they might do it because they'd get yelled at if they didn't.

Terry Pratchett
