Great Quotes
William Shakespeare
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.

Henri Frdric Amiel

Carl Van Vechten
There are two kinds of people in this world, those who long to be understood and those who long to be misunderstood. It is the irony of life that neither is gratified.
Anthony Sampson
In Britain, the segregated world of public schools crops up in all kinds of institutions A boy can pass from Eton to the Guards to the Middle Temple to Parliament and still retain the same male world of leather armchairs, teak tables and nicknames. They need never deal closely with other kinds of people, and some never do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching.
Flannery O'Connor
Poorly written novels--no matter how pious and edifying the behavior of the characters--are not good in themselves and are therefore not really edifying.
Sophocles
Someone asked Sophocles, How do you feel now about sex Are you able to have a woman He replied, Hush man most gladly indeed am I rid off it all, as though I had escaped from a mad and savage master.
Comte DeBussy-Rabutin
Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.
John W. Gardner
The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.

Latest greatest Quotes
Benjamin Franklin
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
I scrambled to the top of the precipice where Nick was waiting. 'That was fun,' I said. 'You bet it was,' said Nick. 'Let's climb higher.' 'No,' I said. 'I think we should be heading back now.' 'We have time,' Nick insisted. I said we didn't, and Nick said we did. We argued back and forth like that for about 20 minutes, then finally decided to head back. I didn't say it was an interesting story.
Bette Davis, The Lonely Life, 1962
I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.
Kahlil Gibran
It is well to give when asked but it is better to give unasked, through understanding.
Gore Vidal
Teaching has ruined more American novelists than drink.
Charles R. Swindoll
The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
Dick Clark
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?
George Santayana
Sanity is a madness put to good use.
Wachowski Brothers, The Matrix Reloaded
Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without.
Rush (the band), "Freewill"
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 153
What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
