Oh no. Don't smile. You'll kill me. I stop breathing when you smile.

Tessa Dare

My Turn is the distilled bathwater of Mrs. Reagan's life. It is for the most part sweetish, with a tart edge of rebuke, but disappointingly free of dirt or particulate matter of any kind.

Barbara Ehrenreich

I can feel no sentiment of approbation inferior to love.

Jane Austen

O suns and skies and clouds of June, and flowers of June together. Ye cannot rival for one hour October's bright blue weather.

Helen Hunt Jackson

Larry Niven

To get all there is out of living, we must employ our time wisely, never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute.

Robert Updegraff

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.

Kahlil Gibran

Helen Keller

Robert Benchley

The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.

John Green
