Though love repine, and reason chafe, There came a voice without reply, - 'Tis man's perdition to be safe When for the truth he ought to die

Art finds her own perfection within, and not outside of herself. She is not to be judged by any external standard of resemblance. She is a veil, rather than a mirror.

Oscar Wilde

Irregularity and want of method are only supportable in men of great learning or genius, who are often too full to be exact, and therefore they choose to throw down their pearls in heaps before the reader, rather than be at the pains of stringing them.

Joseph Addison

Let them show me a cottage where there are not the same vices of which they accuse the courts.

Lord Chesterfield

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I'm an upper.

Wolfman Jack

He hits the ball a long way and he knows how to win.

Gary McCord

There are times in history where a particular doctrine becomes a symbol of a greater problem.

Pat Robertson

Are you gonna fuel your faith or fuel your fear? I'm all about fueling my faith, especially when it's hard to do so.

Carrie-Anne Moss

What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we ask of others but that we be allowed to keep them?

W. Somerset Maugham

Thomas J. Watson

If you have any faith, give me, for heaven's sake, a share of it! Your doubts you may keep to yourself, for I have a plenty of my own

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Beauty is always the result of an accident. Of a violent lapse between acquired habits and those yet to be acquired. It baffles and disgusts. It may even horrify. Once the new habit has been acquired, the accident ceases to be an accident. It becomes classical and loses its shock value.

Jean Cocteau

Yesterday I was playing Beethoven's fifth, because I love that.

Joan Armatrading
