The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don't seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst.

There's always a free lunch with Cosmic Ordering.

Stephen Richards

We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities -- courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning -- whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage.

Jean Baudrillard

I am extremely proud of my service with the government and my efforts to help safeguard public health and protect our country against the scourge of offensive biological warfare.

Nearly all our older poetry was written and read by men to whom the distinction between poetry and rhetoric, in its modern form, would have been meaningless. The 'beauties' which they chiefly regarded in every composition were those which we either dislike or simply do not notice.This change of taste makes an invisible wall between us and them.

C.S. Lewis

Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.

John Dewey

Arab leaders worry more about making money from the profits they get from oil and gas that they turn the other way when Lebanon is being destroyed right next to them. Their neighbours are being murdered, but they only make calculations for their own benefit.

Abu Bakar Bashir

Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and trying to deal with things I couldn't deal with.

Brett Favre

No one ever went broke by saying no too often.

Harvey Mackay

Traveling is the ruin of all happiness! There's no looking at a building after seeing Italy.

Fanny Burney

My enemies are worms, cool days, and most of all woodchucks.

Henry David Thoreau

Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it.

Bette Davis
