Mark Twain quote: "Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no..."
Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better. Mark Twain
To a Young Poet. Time cannot break the bird's wing from the bird. Bird and wing together. Go down, one feather. No thing that ever flew, Not the lark, not you, Can die as others do. Edna St. Vincent Millay
When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it? Stephenie Meyer
The exquisite code of politeness of the Woosters prevented me clipping her one on the ear-hole, but I would have given a shilling to be able to do it. There seemed to me something deliberately fat-headed in the way she persisted in missing the gist. P. G. Wodehouse
George R. R. Martin quote: "What do we say to the Lord of Death?"Not today."
What do we say to the Lord of Death?"Not today. George R. R. Martin
Plus, if I can wax philosophical for a paragraph, there's an even more fundamental principle involved here, and it applies to everything from what you decide to do for a living, to making an omelette, which is that there is nothing so consistently dangerous, not to mention more likely to mess with your head and leave you muttering into your beer, than playing it safe. James Patterson
George P. A. Healy; "I knew no one in France, I was utterly ignorant of the language, I did not know what I should do when once there; but I was not yet one-and-twenty, and I had a great stock of courage, of inexperience—which is sometimes a great help—and a strong desire to be my very best. David McCullough
Charlie Sheen quote: "You have the right to kill me, but you do not have the right..."
You have the right to kill me, but you do not have the right to judge me. Boom. That’s the whole movie. That’s life. Charlie Sheen
All these girls swooning over hunky vampires, what they really want is to give away their freedom, to be controlled and told what to do and not have to think -- and never die, of course. It's sick is what it is. I don't want to be a forever-young living corpse. Dean Koontz
Human manners are wildly inconsistent; plenty of people have said so. But this one takes the cake: the manner in which we're allowed to steal from future generations, while commanding them not to do that to us, and rolling our eyes at anyone who is tediously PC enough to point that out. The conspicious consumption of limited resources has yet to be accepted widely as a spirtual error, or even bad manners. Barbara Kingsolver
James Baldwin quote: "I can't what you say, because I see what you do."
I can't what you say, because I see what you do. James Baldwin
You think I have more than most people dream of? What other people dream of doesn't matter. I always had less than I ever dreamt of. All I ever dreamt of was family. A father and a mother. Most people don't even need to dream of such luxuries, they take them for granted. That is what I used to dwell on, alone in my bedroom. I dwelt as all children do, on the injustice. Injustice is the most terrible thing in the world, Oliver. Everything that is evil springs from it and only a cheap soul can... Stephen Fry
It's just that, I know how you're unhappy a lot. And, maybe it doesn't help anything, but I wanted you to know that I'm always here. I won't ever let you down. I promise that you can always count on me. Wow, that does sound corny. But you know that, right? That I would never, ever hurt you?"Yeah Jake. I know that. And I already do count on you, probably more than you know. Stephenie Meyer
Sneaking up on it sometimes helps: I’ve found I can be very productive for an hour before dinner, because there obviously isn’t enough time to really do anything, so I can tell myself I’m just screwing around. Michael Crichton
Faith draws the poison from every grief, takes the sting from every loss, and quenches the fire of every pain; and only faith can do it. J. G. Holland
