There's night and day, brother, both sweet things; sun, moon, and stars, brother, all sweet things; there's likewise a wind on the heath. Life is very sweet, brother; who would wish to die?

In my experience, it's not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows.

Michael Mandelbaum

Imitations produce pain or pleasure, not because they are mistaken for realities, but because they bring realities to mind.

Samuel Johnson

He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

Twoja niezwyk?a m?ska uroda zawsze dzia?a?a na mnie w ten sam sposób. By? to rodzaj podziwu. Gdybym mog?a, patrzy?abym na Ciebie, ca?y czas bym na Ciebie patrzy?a. Ogl?da?abym Twoj? twarz we fragmentach. Zachwyt nad Tob? by? jednocze?nie zachwytem nad moim uczuciem do Ciebie. Istnia?o dla mnie co? takiego jak fenomen ?ycia, fenomen muzyki i fenomen mi?o?ci, a wi?c Ty te? stawa?e? si? kim? wyj?tkowym, zadziwiaj?cym, bo przecie? by?e? moj? mi?o?ci?...

Maria Nurowska

I still marvel at how God turns dreams into reality.

Martha Reeves

Coming to terms with the rhythms of women's lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.

Margaret Mead

First, President Reagan was not enthusiastic. But I built up a relationship with him in other areas and then persuaded him that this was important to us and to me, and that we had to at least be in the process of looking at this seriously.

Brian Mulroney

I wish I had realized the truth - that she had always been indifferent to me - instead of taking for granted her pretenses of love. It would have made me more strongly attracted to her.

Benson Bruno

Harsh counsels have no effect; they are like hammers which are always repulsed by the anvil.

Claude A. Helvetius

Everyone has a hidden agenda. Except me!

Michael Crichton

Well, the role of money in politics is pretty corrupting right now.

Caroline Kennedy

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast.

Ernest Hemingway
