Cans Quotes (page 760)

One thing I've learned in all these years is not to make love when you really don't feel it; there's probably nothing worse you can do to yourself than that. Norman Mailer
Woody Allen quote: "Sex is the most fun you can have without laughing."

Anthony Trollope quote: "That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great..."
That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing. Anthony Trollope
All freed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind. Karl Marx
But pearls are for tears, the old legend says," Gilbert had objected. "I'm not afraid of that. And tears can be happy as well as sad. My very happiest moments have been when I had tears in my eyes—when Marilla told me I might stay at Green Gables—when Matthew gave me the first pretty dress I ever had—when I heard that you were going to recover from the fever. So give me pearls for our troth ring, Gilbert, and I'll willingly accept the sorrow of life with its joy." -Anne L. M. Montgomery
The obvious effect of frivolous divorce will be frivolous marriage. If people can be separated for no reason they will feel it all the easier to be united for no reason. Gilbert K. Chesterton
H. P. Lovecraft quote: "If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his..."
If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end! H. P. Lovecraft
We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I'm going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun. Stephen Fry
Michael Crichton quote: "A man can see by starlight, if he takes the time."
A man can see by starlight, if he takes the time. Michael Crichton
There are three ways you can get along with a girl: one, shut up and listen to what she has to say; two, tell her you like what she's wearing; and three, treat her to really good food...If you do all that and still don't get the results you want, better give up. Haruki Murakami
The prospect Smiler was a manic farmer. Few men I think can have been as unfortunate as he; for on the one hand he was a melancholic with a loathing for mankind, on the other, some paralysis had twisted his mouth into a permanent and radiant smile. So everyone he met, being warmed by his smile, would shout him a happy greeting. And beaming upon them with his sunny face he would curse them all to hell. Laurie Lee
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Greatness is a property for which no man can receive credit..."
Greatness is a property for which no man can receive credit too soon; it must be possessed long before it is acknowledged. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas. Ronald Reagan
You solve it as you get older, when you reach the point where you've tasted so much that you can somehow sacrifice certain things more easily, and you have a more tolerant view of things like possessiveness (your own) and a broader acceptance of the pains and the losses. Ted Hughes
