Thomas J. Peters

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

John Donne

We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.

Stephen King

When I got my PhD, it was a time when there were just no jobs for PhDs. Period. PhDs were getting the lowest paid technician jobs, if they were lucky, in any kind of science.

Shannon Lucid

So we gave up. I'd finally had enough of chasing after a ghost who did not want to be seen. We'd failed, maybe, but some mysteries aren't meant to be solved.

John Green

I was a single mom that raised two bright, beautiful, and compassionate girls.

Connie Stevens

The man of the house can destroy the pleasure of the household, but he cannot make it. That rests with the woman, and it is her greatest privilege.

Cofer Black

The true charm of pedestrianism does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking. The walking is good to time the movement of the tongue by, and to keep the blood and the brain stirred up and active; the scenery and the woodsy smells are good to bear in upon a man an unconscious and unobtrusive charm and solace to eye and soul and sense; but the supreme pleasure comes from the talk.

Mark Twain

Kate Moss

Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.

Virginia Woolf
