Tiny: You know what's a great metaphor for love? Me: I have a feeling you're about to tell me... Tiny: Sleeping beauty... because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty, and even then, when you get there, you still have to wake her up.

Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them.

P. G. Wodehouse

Money talks...but all mine ever says is good-bye.

Anon.

So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, Thou must, The youth replies, I can.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I've thought hard about my psychological connections and I think I've managed to separate out the psychological from the legal, moral, and political.

Alan Dershowitz

Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.

Mariel Hemingway

I, on the other hand, am a finished product. I absorb electrical energy directly and utilize it with an almost one hundred percent efficiency. I am composed of strong metal, am continuously conscious, and can stand extremes of environment easily. These are facts which, with the self-evident proposition that no being can create another being superior to itself, smashes your silly hypothesis to nothing.

Isaac Asimov

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.

Fr, Essays on Political Economy

All human beings are born with the same creative potential. Most people squander theirs away on a million superflous things. I expend mine on one thing and one thing only: my art.

Pablo Picasso

To get to know a truth properly, one must polemicize it.

Novalis

Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness.

Cyril Connolly

Perseverance gives power to weakness, and opens to poverty the world's wealth. It spreads fertility over the barren landscape, and buds the choicest flowers and fruits spring up and flourish in the desert abode of thorns and briars.

Samuel G. Goodrich

A President needs political understanding to run the government, but he may be elected without it.

Harry S. Truman
