Famous Quotes:



Roger Zelazny


Life is full of doors that don't open when you knock, equally spaced amid those that open when you don't want them to.

C. S. Lewis


Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

Margaret Cho


Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.

Saint Augustine


To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of things eternal; to knowledge, the rational apprehension of things temporal.

Edgar Allan Poe, The Premature Burial


There are certain themes of which the interest is all-absorbing, but which are too entirely horrible for the purposes of legitimate fiction.

Mark Twain


Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler


You shouldn't say it is not good. You should say, you do not like it and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.

William Dukane


It takes a village to raise an idiot.

George Gordon Noel Byron


Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.
