There's no possibility of being witty without a little ill-nature -- the malice of a good thing is the barb that makes it stick.

Truth will triumph. It always does. However, I figure truth is a variable, so we're right back where we started from.

Lewis Padgett

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Aeschylus

Die Einsicht eines Menschen verleiht ihre Flügel keinem anderen.

Kahlil Gibran

And if your friend does evil to you, say to him, I forgive you for what you did to me, but how can I forgive you for what you did to yourself?

Friedrich Nietzsche

I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.

Marilyn Monroe

India-Seychelles relations have been characterized by close friendship, understanding and cooperation.

Pratibha Patil

If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.

Zig Ziglar

I can't tell you enough about cinnamon. Cinnamon is an awesome spice to use and it goes great with something like apples in the morning or in a mixture of fruit or in your oatmeal or even in your cereal.

Emeril Lagasse

I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.

Steven Patrick Morrissey

When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.

Blaise Pascal

Human beings hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn; when they do, which isn't often, on their own, the hard way.

Robert A. Heinlein

For youth, sexual love is whim; for the aged, luxury.
