The weather being hot, he had no cravat, and wore his shirt collar wide open; so that every time he spoke something was seen to twitch and jerk up in his throat, like the little hammers in a harpsichord when the notes are struck. Perhaps it was the Truth feebly endeavouring to leap to his lips. If so, it never reached them.

The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.

Albert Camus

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.

Jane Goodall

A man never likes you so well as when he leaves your company liking himself.

Source Unknown

The saints are the sinners who keep on trying.

Robert Louis Stevenson

My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.

Paul Walker

That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groan, of human beings so tied together by common needs and fears that a twitch at one wrist jerks another, where however strange your experience other people have had it too, where however far you travel in your own mind someone has been there before you - - is all an illusion. We do not know our own souls, let alone the souls of others. Human beings do not go hand in hand the whole stretch of the way. There is a virgin forest in each; a snowfield where even the print of birds' feet is unknown. Here we go alone, and like it better so. Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable.

Virginia Woolf

I can't even find someone for a platonic relationship, much less the kind where someone wants to see me naked.

Gilbert Gottfried

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

Yoko Ono

Love of our neighbour, then, has just the same respect to, is no more distant from, self-love, than hatred of our neighbour, or than love or hatred of anything else.

Joseph Butler

I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible.

Henry Ford

I went to the doctor because I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.

Rodney Dangerfield

You got a lifetime. No more. No less.

Neil Gaiman
