The subject of history is the gradual realization of all that is practically necessary.

When things happen - you ask yourself why today, why not tomorrow, why not yesterday? That's the most amazing thing about time.

Ozwald Boateng

The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I love her none the less because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.

Charles Dickens

He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them.

Charles Kingsley

John Ruskin

We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for our ability to amuse them.

Evelyn Waugh

Aaron Carter

The World Health Organization has recognized acupuncture as effective in treating mild to moderate depression.

Andrew Weil

For target shooting, that's okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that's why we have police departments.

James Brady

There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust, while the infamous sit at banquets.

Robert G. Ingersoll, A Lay Sermo

I wake up every morning and I feel like I'm juggling glass balls. I live in Los Angeles, my business is run out of London, and most evenings I'm cuddled up in front of Skype, in my dressing gown, speaking with my studio in London. I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Victoria Beckham

If ever you feel like an animal among men, be a lion.

Criss Jami

He had kissed her good night that night, and she had tasted like strawberry daiquiris, and he had never wanted to kiss anyone else again.

Neil Gaiman
