Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water.

The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one

Igor Stravinsky

This I have known, and these have come againWith echoing happiness in heart and brain;Time standing still, surrendering to meBeauty that otherwise would cease to be.

William Kean Seymour

You're waiting for someone to put you together, you're waiting for someone to push you away, there's always another wound to discover, there's always something more you wish he'd say

Vertical Horizon

I never heerd...nor read of nor see in picters, any angel in tights and gaiters...but...he's a reg'lar thoroughbred angel for all that.

Charles Dickens

If you're working out in front of a mirror and watching your muscles grow, your ego has reached a point where it is now eating itself. That's why I believe there should be a psychiatrist at every health club, so that when they see you doing this, they will take you away for a little chat.

Lewis Black

Power is dangerous unless you have humility.

Richard J. Daley

We love kitties, gawd bless their little whiskers, and we don't give a damn whether they or we are superior or inferior! They're confounded pretty, and that's all we know and all we need to know!

H.P. (Howard Phillips) Lovecraft

No man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.

Ezra Pound

Laughter is the sun which drives the winte from the human face.

Victor Hugo

The truth that seems discouraging does in reality only transform the courage of those strong enough to accept it; and, in any event, a truth that disheartens, because it is true, is still of far more value than the most stimulating of falsehoods.

Maurice Maeterlinck

Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.

Ovid

A city with one newspaper, or with a morning and an evening paper under one ownership, is like a man with one eye, and often the eye is glass.

A. J. Liebling
