Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement... says heaven and earth in one word... speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time, and the drawback, if you do not give it your full attention, of seeming to say half as much in twice the time. ~ Christopher Fry #quote
Beauty is the purgation of superfluities. ~ Michelangelo Buonarroti #quote
The great commitment is so much easier than the ordinary, everyday one - and can all too easily shut our hearts to the latter. A willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice can be associated with, and even produce, a great hardness of heart. You thought you were indifferent to Praise for achievements which you would not yourself have counted to your credit, or that, if you should be tempted to feel flattered, you would always remember that the Praise far exceeded what the events justified. You thought yourself indifferent - until you felt your jealousy flare up at his naive attempts to make himself important, and your self-conceit stood exposed. Concerning the hardness of the heart - and its littleness - let me read with open eyes the book my days are writing, and learn. ~ Dag Hammarskjold #quote, Markings
America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people. ~ Gloria Steinem #quote
Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength. ~ Lao-Tzu #quote
Call a truce, then, to our labours ~ let us feast with friends and neighbours, and be merry as the custom of our caste; for if faint and forced the laughter, and if sadness follow after, we are richer by one mocking Christmas past. ~ Rudyard Kipling #quote
Never try to out-stubborn a cat. ~ Robert A. Heinlein #quote, Lazarus Long, Time Enough for Love (The Notebooks of Lazarus Long)
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done. ~ Virginia Woolf #quote
There is no order in the world around us, we must adapt ourselves to the requirements of chaos instead. ~ Kurt Vonnegut #quote, Breakfast of Champions
Don't let your life pass you by, weep not for the memories. ~ Sarah McLachlan, I Will Remember You #lyrics
A collections of anecdotes and maxims is the greatest of treasures for the man of the world, for he knows how to intersperse conversation with the former in fit places, and to recollect the latter on proper occasions. ~ Johann von Goethe #quote
If you give an audience a chance they will do half your acting for you. ~ Katharine Hepburn #quote
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself. Oh alcohol, I still drink to your health. ~ Bare Naked Ladies, Alcohol #Lyrics
Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast. ~ Oscar Wilde #quote
The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche #quote
What a drag it is getting old. ~ The Rolling Stones, Mother's Little Helper #lyrics
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend. ~ Jewel, Under The Water #lyrics
People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning. ~ Steven Spielberg #quote
He wants to sell his paintings, but the market is slow, they're only paying two grams. ~ Jefferson Airplane #lyrics
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent. ~ William Shakespeare #Quote

The lack of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome. ~ Jonathan Swift #quote
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes - and the stars through his soul. ~ Victor Hugo #quote
There is a kind of courtesy in skepticism. It would be an offence against polite conventions to press our doubts too far. ~ George Santayana #Quote
When rich villains have need of poor ones, poor ones may make what price they will. ~ William Shakespeare #Quote

They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them. ~ Mahatma Gandhi #quote
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness. ~ George Orwell #quote, 1984
Hey you, out there on your own sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? - Pink Floyd, Hey You #Lyrics
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment. ~ Seneca the Elder #Quote
Marks on paper are free - free speech - press - pictures all go together I suppose. ~ Georgia O'Keeffe #quote
I have believed the best of every man. And find that to believe is enough to make a bad man show him at his best, or even a good man swings his lantern higher. ~ William Butler Yeats #quote
Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected. ~ Charles Lamb #quote
We are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspected. ~ Henry David Thoreau #quote
You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough. ~ Aldous Huxley #quote
We are so often caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey, especially the goodness of the people we meet on the way. Appreciation is a wonderful feeling, don't overlook it. ~ Source Unknown #quote
