Taylor Swift

From my time in Health I know that choice empowers people lives.

John Hutton

You embody all that I was ever able to concieve of beauty and fearlessness and strange purity. Therefore it is evident I do not see in you merely Count Emmerick's third sister, but, instead, that ageless lovable and loving woman long worshipped and sought everywhere in vain by all poets.

James Branch Cabell

These days man knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing.

Oscar Wilde
