There's a fine line between fishing, and standing on the shore like an idiot.

If men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.

O. Henry

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes. By the deep sea, and music in its roars; I love not man the less, but nature more.

George Gordon

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

Jawaharlal Nehru

Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.

Paulo Coelho

We are in desperate need of a well-done romantic lesbian comedy.

Jill Bennett

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.

Pedro Martinez

Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.

Albert Einstein

We are often jealous of our little secrets, though to another ear they generally convey neither profit nor entertainment.

Eden Phillpotts

She certainly did not hate him. No; hatred had vanished long ago, and she had almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling a dislike against him, that could be so called. The respect created by the conviction of his valuable qualities, though at first unwillingly admitted, had for some time ceased to be repugnant to her feelings; and it was now heightened into somewhat of a friendlier nature, by the testimony so highly in his favour, and bringing forward his disposition in so amiable a light, which yesterday had produced. But above all, above respect and esteem, there was a motive within her of good will which could not be overlooked. It was gratitude.--Gratitude not merely for having once loved her, but for loving her still well enough, to forgive all the petulance and acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations accompanying her rejection. He who, she had been persuaded, would avoid her as his greatest enemy, seemed, on this accidental meeting, most eager to preserve the acquaintance, and without any indelicate display of regard, or any peculiarity of manner, where their two selves only were concerned, was soliciting the good opinion of her friends, and bent on making her known to his sister. Such a change in a man of so much pride, excited not only astonishment but gratitude--for to love, ardent love, it must be attributed; and as such its impression on her was of a sort to be encouraged, as by no means unpleasing, though it could not exactly be defined.

Jane Austen

Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight.

William Congreve

If you procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem... break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time.

Robert Collier

We also maintain - again with perfect truth - that mystery is more than half of beauty, the element of strangeness that stirs the senses through the imagination.

Richard Le Gallienne
