As a reader, I could put on someone else's shoes and live through his adventures, borrow his individuality and make choices that I didn't have at home. Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Anne Sexton quote: "Yesterday I did not want to be borrowed but this is the..."
Yesterday I did not want to be borrowed but this is the typewriter that sits before me and love is where yesterday is at. Anne Sexton
The women we really love are the women who complete us, who have the qualities we can borrow and so become something nearer to whole men. Just as we complete them, of course; it’s not a one-way thing. Leola and I, when romance was stripped away, were too much alike; our strengths and weaknesses were too nearly the same. Together we would have doubled our gains and our losses, but that isn’t what love is. Robertson Davies
I want first of all - in fact, as an end to these other desires - to be at peace with myself.

Using a borrowed pencil and a cupcake wrapper, I wrote the first lyrics of my post-Metallica life. This song was called "Megadeth" (I dropped the second "a"), and though it would never find its way onto an album, it did serve as the basis for the song "Set the World Afire." It hadn't occured to me then that... Dave Mustaine
Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another. The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbor's, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all. Voltaire
Only two kinds of people can attain self-knowledge: those who are not encumbered at all with learning, that is to say, whose minds are not over-crowded with thoughts borrowed from others; and those who, after studying all the scriptures and sciences, have come to realise that they know nothing. Ramakrishna
Evan Esar quote: "Most new books are forgotten within a year, especially by..."
Most new books are forgotten within a year, especially by those who borrow them. Evan Esar
Again, the first "o" in "borogoves" is pronounced like the "o" in "borrow." I have heard people try to give it the sound of the "o" in "worry". Such is Human Perversity. Lewis Carroll
Benjamin Franklin quote: "If you would know the worth of money, go and try to borrow some."
If you would know the worth of money, go and try to borrow some. Benjamin Franklin
Stephen Covey quote: "But borrowing strength builds weakness."
