When trust improves, the mood improves.

I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That's what sitting on your ass does to your face.

Leonard Cohen

The diversity of mankind is a basic postulate of our knowledge of human beings. But if mankind is diverse and individuated, then how can anyone propose equality as an ideal? Every year, scholars hold Conferences on Equality and call for greater equality, and no one challenges the basic tenet. But what justification can equality find in the nature of man? If each individual is unique, how else can he be made 'equal' to others than by destroying most of what is human in him and reducing human society to the mindless uniformity of the ant heap?

Murray N. Rothbard

The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.

George Orwell, The Art of Donald

I find it sad that by not talking about who I sleep with, that makes me mysterious. There was a time when I would have been called a gentleman.

Kevin Spacey

The fear of being deceived is the vulgar version of the quest for Truth.

Emile M. Cioran

I barrel into his arms, my mouth connecting with his. Seizing him. Feeling him. Loving him.

K.A. Tucker

I am imagination. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel.

Peter Nivio Zarlenga

I kind of resent this attitude of men that we somehow must always look good.

Sharon Gless

Love means to commit yourself without guarantee.

Anne Campbell

Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.

Winston Churchill

It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.

Jerome K. Jerome

A man only has a soul to be won or lost.

Paulo Coelho
