The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit - this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.

Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.

Tennessee Williams

I've looked that old scoundrel death in the eye many times but this time I think he has me on the ropes.

Douglas MacArthur

And having wisdom with each studious year, in meditation dwelt, with learning wrought, and shaped his weapon with an edge severe, sapping a solemn creed with solemn sneer.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on

William Shakespeare

I didn't ask for it to be over. But then again I didn't ask for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunset

Javan

Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.

Carl Gustav Jung

Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder. Men who would face torture without a word become blasphemous at the short fourteenth. It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behavior not otherwise excusable.

Auberon Herbert

In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The lunatic fringe wags the underdog.

H. L. Mencken

A little grit in the eye destroyeth the sight of the very heavens, and a little malice or envy a world of joys. One wry principle in the mind is of infinite consequence.

Thomas Traherne

A good self-esteem level is mostly dependant on how we value ourselves without any bias.

Stephen Richards

In days gone by, we were afraid of dying in dishonor or a state of sin. Nowadays, we are afraid of dying fools. Now the fact is that there is no Extreme Unction to absolve us of foolishness. We endure it here on earth as subjective eternity.

Jean Baudrillard
