All things are sold: the very light of heaven is venal; earth's unsparing gifts of love, the smallest and most despicable things that lurk in the abysses of the deep, all objects of our life, even life itself, and the poor pittance which the laws allow of liberty, the fellowship of man, those duties which his heart of human love should urge him to perform instinctively, are bought and sold as in a public mart of not disguising selfishness, that sets on each its price, the stamp-mark of her reign.

Bertrand Russell

We are still waging Peloponnesian wars. Our control of the material world and our positive science have grown fantastically. But our very achievements turn against us, making politics more random and wars more bestial.

George Steiner

Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways

William Shakespeare

But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.

Marie Windsor

It was just the most amazing thing, right there in our camp.

Stephen Richards

The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion.

Arnold H. Glasow

Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven't got the remotest knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct about when to die.

Oscar Wilde
