She was so ugly that she was known as a two bagger, one for you in case her bag breaks.

Hunger makes a thief of any man.

Pearl S. Buck

The magic of purpose and of love in its purest form. Not televison love, with its glare and hollow and sequined glint; not sex and allure, all high shoes and high drama, everything both too small and in too much excess, but just love. Love like rain, like the smell of a tangerine, like a surprise found in your pocket.

Deb Caletti

It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It's not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention.

Conan O'Brien

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent

Aldous Huxley

Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous.

Frank Herbert

Love and death are the two great hinges on which all human sympathies turn.

B. R. Hayden

The writer isn't made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.

E. L. Doctorow

There is nothing that exasperates people more than a display of superior ability or brilliance in conversation. They seem pleased at the time, but their envy makes them curse the conversationalist in their heart.

Johnson

Now, there are so many movies, so many festivals, and so many awards going on, each judged with each other, like your work is worse than others and that's not fair. How can you tell what's best and what's worst from these awards? We're talking about art.

Javier Bardem

I love the idea that somebody is going to compare me to my character or think that I am like my character when they see me. I feel like that is a role that I am willing to fulfill.

Monique Coleman

Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.

Lord Chesterfield

To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.

Peter R. Grant
