The only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and people pair off, someone is bound to be left in tears.

I think we have to act like stars because it is expected of us. So we drive our big cars and live in our smart houses.

Maurice Gibb

The good things of prosperity are to be wished but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I'm appalled the word feminism has been denigrated to a place of almost ridicule and I very passionately believe the word needs to be revalued and reintroduced with power and understanding that this is a global picture.

Annie Lennox

Not that I wish by any means to deny, that the mental life of individuals and peoples is also in conformity with law, as is the object of philosophical, philological, historical, moral, and social sciences to establish.

Hermann von Helmholtz

I love sleeping in a moving car more than sleeping in bed.

Ben Stein

... I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.

Douglas Fairbanks

Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly.

Jane Austen

There are fundamentalist psychopaths in every religion in the world. Every single one.

Sophia Bush

Calligraphy is a geometry of the soul which manifests itself physically.

Plato

How often I have found that we grow to maturity not by doing what we like, but by doing what we should. How true it is that not every 'should' is a compulsion, and not every 'like' is a high morality and true freedom.

Karl Rahner

I was one those kids who had books on them. Before weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading, my family would frisk me and take the book away. If they didn't find it by this point in the procedure, I would be sitting over in that corner completely unnoticed just reading my book.

Neil Gaiman

Love is the greatest gift that God has given us. It's free.
