Edgar Allan Poe

No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it.

Kahlil Gibran

Sometimes I'm so tired, I look down at what I'm wearing, and if it's comfortable enough to sleep in, I don't even make it into my pajamas. I'm looking down, and I'm like, 'T-shirt and stretchy pants? Yup, that's fine. It's pajama-y, good night.'

Rebecca Romijn

A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity.

Charles Ives

I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It's really above and beyond American politics.

For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.

Elizabeth Blackwell

All our words from loose using have lost their edge.

Ernest Hemingway
