I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.

It might be pardonable to refuse to defend some men, but to defend them negligently is nothing short of criminal.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

C. S. Lewis

I worked very hard. I felt I could play the game. The only thing that could stop me was myself.

Jim Abbott

Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.

Plato

He was not my boyfriend. On the other hand, he wasn't just a friend either. Instead, our relationship was elastic, stretching between those two extremes depending on who else was around, how much either of us had to drink, and other varying factors. This was exactly what I wanted, as commitments had never really been my thing. And it wasn't like it was hard, either. The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose.

Sarah Dessen

If we were to wipe out insects alone on this planet, the rest of life and humanity with it would mostly disappear from the land. Within a few months.

E. O. Wilson

I must get out of these wet clothes and into a dry Martini.

Robert Benchley

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

Mark Twain

Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something.

Wilson Mizner

Love is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.

Martin Luther King Jr.

The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.

Alfred Adler

Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.
