There's nothing cure or funny or lovable about being cheap. It's a total turn-off.

Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either.

Golda Meir

The soul's joy lies in doing.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.

John Keats

You are mortal. You age, you die. If that is not hell, pray tell me, what is?

Cassandra Clare

and I told myself -- as I've told myself before -- that the body shuts down then the pain gets too bad, that consciousness is temporary, that this will pass. But just like always, I didn't slip away. I was left on the shore with the waves washing over me, unable to drown.

John Green

Acquaintance, n. A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.

Ambrose Bierce

But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.

Barry Bonds

Robots do not hold on to life. They can't. They have nothing to hold on with - no soul, no instinct. Grass has more will to live than they do.

Karel Capek

I will say this for adversity: people seem to be able to stand it, and that is more than I can say for prosperity.

Kin Hubbard

It has taken me all my life to understand it is not necessary to understand everything.

Rene Coty

It is pointless to ask: Why then is sex so secret? What is this force that so long reduced it to silence and has only recently relaxed its hold somewhat, allowing us to question it perhaps, but always in the context of and through its repression? In reality, this question, so often repeated nowadays, is but the recent form of a considerable affirmation and a secular prescription: there is where the truth is; go see if you can uncover it. [...] It is reasonable therefore to ask first of all: What is this injunction? Why this great chase after the truth of sex, the truth in sex?

Michel Foucault

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

Norman Vincent Peale
