I was walking along and this chair came flying past me, and another, and another, and I thought, man, is this gonna be a good night.

How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!

Jane Austen

I don't know if high society is different in other cities, but in Hollywood, important people can't stand to be invited someplace that isn't full of other important people. They don't mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners.

Marilyn Monroe

If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.

Charlotte Bronte

Miserable creatures, thrown for a moment on the surface of this little pile of mud, is it decreed that one half of the flock should be the persecutor of the other? Is it for you, mankind, to pronounce on what is good and what is evil?

Marquis de Sade

Let us ever remember that our interest is in concord, not in conflict; and that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war.

William McKinley

I don't think it's an incredibly radical premise to try and have sympathy for someone who has made a mistake.

Joe Cornish

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from the artist is to make him ruin his work

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game.

Rafael Palmeiro

Because forgiveness is like this: a room can be dank because you have closed the windows, you've closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart.

Desmond Tutu

Crime expands according to our willingness to put up with it.

Barry J. Farber

I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now...Come further up, come further in!

C.S. Lewis

No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.

Margaret Sanger
