I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form.

Joan Crawford

The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms; and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.

Michelangelo Buonarroti

For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.

Johnny Carson

Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio.

Thomas Robert Malthus

You feel, I suppose, that, in losing Isabella, you lose half yourself: you feel a void in your heart which nothing else can occupy.? Society is becoming irksome; and as for the amusements in which you were wont to share at Bath, the very idea of which without her is abhorrent.? You would not, for instance, now go to a ball for the world.? You feel that you have no longer any friend to whom you can speak with unreserve; on whose regard you can place dependence; or whose counsel, in any difficult, you could rely on.

Jane Austen

I add a lot of citrus to my food and I think that flavors it. And, to me, that what makes it healthier, lower in fat, lower in calories. It adds lots of flavor. Spices, of course. But citrus is definitely kind of my go-to to season and really to really make those flavors, make that food come alive.

Cat Cora

There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune; it is a certain air which distinguishes us, and seems to destin us for great things; it is a price which we imperceptibly set upon ourselves.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

In my right-wing politics of the time, I held that unemployment was usually the fault of the unemployed.
