A person has an idea about foreign policy or doesn't know one’s arse from one’s elbow. Cleveland Amory
I've tried to be a better person... I've tried, and tried and tried! You know how hard I've tried! Tell me how I've tried..."Nice try... Five cents, please! Charles M. Schulz
There is a decivilizing bug somewhere at work; unconsciously persons of stern worth, by not resenting and resisting the small indignities of the times, are preparing themselves for the eventual acceptance of what they themselves know they don’t want. E. B. White
S. E. Hinton quote: "You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate..."
You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world. S. E. Hinton
I never go to weddings. Waste of time. Person can get married a dozen times. Lots of folks do. Family like ours, know everybody in the state of Texas and around outside, why, you could spend your life going to weddings. But a funeral, that's different. You only die once. Edna Ferber
She knew - she knew by now - that there really can be a person, one at least, that you can embrace as easily and wholly as though the two of you were one thing, a thing that once upon a time was broken into pieces and is now put back together.
