Well, don't just pray to marry the one you love; Instead, pray to love the one you marry.

In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.

Gerald Brenan

Now the church is not wood and stone, but the company of people who believe in Christ.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I stand for something. I stand for light. Even when I sleep!

Matthew Maher

During sex my girlfriend always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel.

Rodney Dangerfield

And the more he was irritated by her basic personality, the more he was drawn to her by a harsh, bestial sensuality, illusions of a moment, which ended in hate.

Gustave Flaubert

Your hair may be brushed, but your mind's untidy. You've had about seven hours of sleep since Friday. No wonder you feel that lost sensation. You're sunk from a riot of relaxation.

Ogden Nash

When will the public cease to insult the teacher's calling with empty flattery? When will men who would never for a moment encourage their own sons to enter the work of the public schools cease to tell us that education is the greatest and noblest of all human callings?

William C. Bagley, Craftmanship

God made me and broke the mold.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

So long as you live and work, you will be misunderstood; to that you must resign yourself once and for all. Be silent!

Johann von Goethe

I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails.

Venus Williams

We have been educated to such a fine -- or dull -- point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

Henry Miller

Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps twenty players, and Tennessee Williams has about five, and Samuel Beckett one - and maybe a clone of that one. I have ten or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.

Gore Vidal
