If she liked him so darn much, she should have done something about it. Taken some real action. Emily Giffin
Born in a stable, cradled in a manger, He came forth from heaven to live on earth as mortal man and to establish the kingdom of God. During His earthly ministry, He taught men the higher law. His glorious gospel reshaped the thinking of the world. He blessed the sick. He caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear. He even raised the dead to life. To us He has said,?Come, follow me? As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not... Thomas S. Monson
I find that, as a rule, when a thing is a wonder to us it is not because of what we see in it, but because of what others have seen in it. We get almost all our wonders at second hand. Mark Twain

He was prepared to die for it, as one of Baudelaire's dandies might have been prepared to kill himself in order to preserve himself in the condition of a work of art, for he wanted to make this experience a masterpiece of experience which absolutely transcended the everyday. And this would annihilate the effects of the cruel drug, boredom, to which he was addicted although, perhaps, the element of boredom which is implicit in an affair so isolated from the real world was its principle appeal... Angela Carter
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "If you ask me, most people have children just as their own..."
If you ask me, most people have children just as their own enthusiasm about life begins to wane. Chuck Palahniuk
Perhaps there is nothing greater on earth than the sacrifice of youth and beauty, often of high birth, made by the gentle sex in order to work in hospitals for the relief of human misery, the sight of which is so revolting to our delicacy. Peoples separated from the Roman religion have imitated but imperfectly so generous a charity. Voltaire
Thornton Wilder quote: "We all have time to expend on what is essential to our nature."
We all have time to expend on what is essential to our nature. Thornton Wilder
Henry David Thoreau quote: "Say what you have to say, not what you ought."
Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Henry David Thoreau
I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber. Blaise Pascal
A Man having found a Lion in his path undertook to subdue him by the power of the human eye; and near by was a Rattlesnake engaged in fascinating a small bird. "How are you getting on, brother?" the Man called out to the other reptile, without removing his eyes from those of the Lion. Ambrose Bierce
Horace quote: "What you have not published, you can destroy. The word once..."
What you have not published, you can destroy. The word once sent forth can never be recalled. Horace
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. If the mockingbird were chirping to give us the long-sought formula for a unified field theory, the point would be only slightly less irrelevant. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful? Annie Dillard
Jodi Picoult quote: "Instead of doing the best thing, we sometimes have to settle..."
Instead of doing the best thing, we sometimes have to settle for the rightest thing. Jodi Picoult
