It is, therefore, a fact that anybody who wants to realise Truth or who wants to be humane, must follow non-violent ways of life, otherwise he will not be able to reach the Truth.

It's been my experience that every time I think I know where it's at, it's usually somewhere else.

Blake Edwards

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, said Jefferson, it expects what never was and never will be.

Aldous Huxley

But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.

Carol Burnett

Never question the power of one! Throughout history it has been the actions of only one person who has inspired the movement of change.

Steve Maraboli

Narcissus does not fall in love with his reflection because it is beautiful, but because it is his. If it were his beauty that enthralled him, he would be set free in a few years by its fading.

W. H. Auden

It is bad policy to regulate everything... where things may better regulate themselves and can be better promoted by private exertions but it is no less bad policy to let those things alone which can only be promoted by interfering social power.

Friedrich List

There is nothing a man of good sense dreads in a wife so much as her having more sense than himself.

Henry Fielding

Sometimes it takes a walk through the darkness; to totally appreciate the light

L.M. Young

Virtually every writer I know would rather be a musician.

Kurt Vonnegut

Georges Bernanos

Me, I've seen 45 years, and I've only figured out one thing. That's this: if a person would just make the effort, there's something to be learned from everything. From even the most ordinary, commonplace things, there's always something you can learn. I read somewhere that they said there's even different philosophies in razors. Fact is, if it weren't for that, nobody'd survive.

Haruki Murakami

Great love affairs start with Champagne and end with tisane.

Honore de Balzac
