Style comes from knowing who you are and who you want to be in the world; it does not come from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier.

Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

No matter what your wishes, they are not crazy so long as they are not crazy to you!

Stephen Richards

Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success.

Og Mandino

What is a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority.

Robert Altman

To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation is that good for the world?

Christopher Hitchens

We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us humans only have so much love to give, and that it comes in a standard round unit: one. After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period. You can't, common wisdom goes, just run around dividing that one heart up freely; to claim to do so means that you're either a fool, or you're dividing up something that is dead.

Anthony Ravenscroft

To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.

Anatole France, The Crime of Syl

Observe this, that tho a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she's still virtuous; that's a maxim.

George Farquhar

Later, when his father left him, the boy cried over his pet, until eventually his father sent a servant to take the body of the bird away and bury it. The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.

Cassandra Clare

Melancholy men are of all others the most witty.

Aristotle

Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.

Bashar al-Assad

The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.
