Try as you may, you can never defy love.

Things forbidden have a secret charm.

Tacitus

Just once in my life a man tried to embrace me. It was horrible! He had big boots, a heavy belt, huge gloves. Faugh! Oh, let's not talk about men.

Renee Vivien

Taxpayers deserve a government that harnesses technology to better serve the people.

Matt Blunt

Women are made to be loved, not understood.

Oscar Wilde

You have despoiled churches. You have threatened every corporation and endowment in the country. You have examined into everybodys affairs. You have criticised every profession and vexed every trade. No one is certain of his property, and nobody knows what duties he may have to perform to-morrow. This is the policy of confiscation as compared with that of concurrent endowment.

Benjamin Disraeli

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.

Ansel Adams

Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street.

Elbert Hubbard

The superstition of science scoffs at the superstition of faith.

James A. Froude

We recognise in the finished art, which is the result of these conditions, the best words in the best order - poetry and to put this essential poetry into different classes is impossible.

John Drinkwater

Of two hearts one is always warm and one is always cold: the cold heart is more precious than diamonds: the warm heart has no value and is thrown away.

Graham Greene

The pre-Socratic Greek philosopher taught that the only things that are real are things which never change... and the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher taught that everything changes. If you superimpose their two views, you get this result: Nothing is real.

Parmenides

It always does seem to me that I am doing more work than I should do. It is not that I object to the work, mind you; I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me: the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.

Jerome K Jerome
