My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.

Love is like a good cake; you never know when it's coming, but you'd better eat it when it does!

I have never seen a newspaper headline where those in spirit, without physical bodies, carried out evil deeds like a mugger in a parking lot.

Stephen Richards

I asked a teacher what the opposite of a miracle was and she, without thinking, I assume, said it was an act of God. You shouldn't say something like that to the kind of kid who will grow up to be a writer; we have long memories.

Terry Pratchett

When you determined what you want, you have made the most important decision of your life. You have to know what you want in order to attain it.

Douglas Lurtan

I know where I'm going and I have told the French. I am sure if hope is there, we will be able to put France back on its feet... to live better in five years than we do today.

Francois Hollande

Your rat tail is all the fashion now. I prefer a bushy plume, carried straight up. You are Siamese and your ancestors lived in trees. Mine lived in palaces. It has been suggested to me that I am a bit of a snob. How true! I prefer to be.

Raymond Chandler

Water, air, and cleanness are the chief articles in my pharmacy.

Napoleon Bonaparte

At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done

Simone Weil

Man has but three events in his life: to be born, to live, and to die. He is not conscious of his birth, he suffers at his death and he forgets to live.

Jean de la Bruyere

When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.

Marquis de la Grange

To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high way, And the low soul gropes the low: And in between, on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man decideth. The way his soul shall go.

John Oxenham

I am convinced that living in an enclave shapes the personality, and living alone shapes the personality too.
