In truth, to attain to interior peace, one must be willing to pass through the contrary to peace. Such is the teaching of the Sages.

Oh, the tiger will love you. There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

George Bernard Shaw

It made one mad, for pleasure; and we could not take our eyes from him, and the looks that went out of our eyes came from our hearts, and their dumb speech was worship.

Mark Twain

The desire to create continually is vulgar and betrays jealousy, envy, ambition. If one is something one really does not need to make anything --and one nonetheless does very much. There exists above the productive man a yet higher species.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The care of every man's soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills.

Thomas Jefferson

When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.

Natalie Clifford Barney

It's often only in the lies we refuse to speak that any truth can be heard at all.

Karen Marie Moning

The country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.

Karl Marx

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.

Bible

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut, that held its ground.

David Icke

The gods were great, but what good was greatness if you didn't love?

Lev Grossman

It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.

George Orwell

Once upon a time we did not focus on a president's private life.

Tom Ford
