When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.

There was no corn -- in the wide market-place all loathliest things, even human flesh, was sold; They weighed it in small scales -- and many a face was fixed in eager horror then; his gold the miser brought; the tender maid, grown bold through hunger, bared her scorned charms in vain.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Helen Keller

Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age.

George Sand

The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.

Taylor Swift

Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.

Ambrose Bierce

President Obama's view of a free economy is to send your money to his friends. My vision for a free enterprise economy is to return entrepreneurship and genius and creativity to the American people!

Mitt Romney

We never respect those who amuse us, however we may smile at their comic powers.

Marguerite Blessington

You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot, it actually takes it out of your hand, like it's hungry. It pulls it in, and you feel like it wants more silver discs.

Tom Waits

My hatred gives me strength.

Janet Fitch

It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and politics in America than in Europe.

Hedy Lamarr

There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.

Jonathan Shapiro

The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.

Saul Steinberg
