It takes two to speak truth -- one to speak, and another to hear.

A person is never as quiet or unrestrained as they seem, or as bad or good, as vulnerable or as strong, as sweet or as feisty; we are thickly layered, page lying upon page, behind simple covers. And love - it is not the book itself, but the binding. It can rip us apart or hold us together...Layers, by their nature, are fragile things.

Deb Caletti

A lot of people are obsessed with looking cool. They feel they have to look after their image.

Adrian Edmondson

When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.

Louis Pasteur

One is tempted to define man as a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.

Oscar Wilde

Most vegetarians look so much like the food they eat that they can be classified as cannibals.

Finley Peter Dunne

It's an awesome responsibility, not only to maintain the level of success the NFL has, but to build on that.

Roger Goodell

They had no conversation together, no intercourse but what the commonest civility required. Once so much to each other! Now nothing! There had been a time, when of all the large party now filling the drawing-room at Uppercross, they would have found it most difficult to cease to speak to one another. With the exception, perhaps, of Admiral and Mrs. Croft, who seemed particularly attached and happy, (Anne could allow no other exception even among the married couples) there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so simliar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become aquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.

Jane Austen

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

Kahlil Gibran

We can only know one thing about God - that he is what we are not. Our wretchedness alone is an image of this. The more we contemplate it, the more we contemplate him.

Simone Weil

I can live for two months on a good compliment.

Mark Twain

Joy is a subtle elf; I think one's happiest when he forgets himself.

Cyril Tourneur

Villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well-camouflaged...Vigilance, Mr. Worf. That is the price we must continually pay.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard
