A writer needs to ingest love to be passionate. Passion is a metabolite of love, and good writing is an active metabolite of passion.

I dare the truth, Elaida, Egwene said quietly. you are a coward and a tyrant. I'd name you Darkfriend as well, but I suspect that the Dark One would perhaps be embarrassed to associate with you.

Robert Jordan

There are such repulsive faces in the world.

Leo Tolstoy

You can't set a hen in one morning and have chicken salad for lunch.

George M. Humphrey

If you play it straight it's funny - the best comedy is always played straight down the middle. The adjustment is understanding from the screenplay that a moment is hilarious.

Daniel Nathans

My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality.

Ethan Hawke

There is no time like the old time, when you and I were young,When the buds of April blossomed, and the birds of spring-time sung!The gardens brightest glories by summer suns are nursed,But oh, the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers that opened first!There is no place like the old place, where you and I were born,Where we lifted first our eyelids on the splendors of the mornFrom the milk-white breast that warmed us, from the clinging arms that bore,Where the dear eyes glistened o'er us that will look on us no more!There is no friend like the old friend, who has shared our morning days,No greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise:Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold;But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.There is no love like the old love, that we courted in our pride;Though our leaves are falling, falling, and were fading side by side,There are blossoms all around us with the colors of our dawn,And we live in borrowed sunshine when the day-star is withdrawn.There are no times like the old times, they shall never be forgot!There is no place like the old place, keep green the dear old spot!There are no friends like our old friends, may Heaven prolong their lives!There are no loves like our old loves, God bless our loving wives!

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I have no problem with it. I don't look on homosexuality as an aberration. It's just they way they're born, and how could any relationship between two people in a committed relationship be wrong, regardless of gender?

Andrea Thompson

Every guilty person is his own hangman.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

If you want to give the devil a nervous breakdown, just get up every day and see how much good you can do.

Joyce Meyer

As long as I breathe I hope. As long as I breathe I shall fight for the future, that radiant future, in which man, strong and beautiful, will become master of the drifting stream of his history and will direct it towards the boundless horizons of beauty, joy and happiness!

Leon Trotsky

The stupidity of one brain multiplied by twelve.

Elbert Hubbard
