It is with a word as with an arrow -- once let it loose and it does not return.

Trouble is we end up being worse at saying things well. It's got to be an inborn fault. Naturally, everyone's got faults. My biggest fault is that the faults i was born with grow bigger each year.

Haruki Murakami

Real love should draw no blood from the loved and buckets from the lover.

Emily Maguire

Most men act so tough and strong on the outside because on the inside, we are scared, weak, and fragile. Men, not women, are the weaker sex.

Jerry Rubin

Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.

Euripides

If you have dreams it is your responsibility to make them happen.

Bel Pesce

Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance.

Sir Winston Churchill

I'm sick of playing romantic leads.

John Corbett

No, no, no, Hooch told himself silently. Getting even don't amount to nothing in this world. Getting even only gets you behind. The best revenge is to get rich enough to make them all call you sir, that's how you get even with these boys.

Orson Scott Card

In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents. They are deprived of their independence. Democratic politicians rarely feel they can afford the luxury of telling the whole truth to the people. And since not telling it, though prudent, is uncomfortable, they find it easier if they themselves do not have to hear too often too much of the sour truth. The men under them who report and collect the news come to realize in their turn that it is safer to be wrong before it has become fashionable to be right.

Walter Lippmann

Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.

Christina Ricci

I worked half my life to be an overnight success, and still it took me by surprise.

Jessica Savitch

My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual.

Phyllis Diller
