If a thing can be said in ten words, I may be relied upon to take a hundred to say it. I ought to apologize for that. I ought to prune, pare and extirpate excess growth, but I will not. I like words - strike that, I love words - and while I am fond of the condensed and economical use of them in poetry, in song lyrics, in Twitter, in good journalism and smart advertising, I love the luxuriant profusion and mad scatter of them too. Stephen Fry
We were fond together because of the sweep of open places, the taste of wide winds, the sunlight, and the hopes in which we worked. The morning freshness of the world-to-be intoxicated us. We were wrought up with ideas inexpressible and vaporous, but to be fought for. We lived many lives in those whirling campaigns, never sparing ourselves: yet when we achieved and the new world dawned, the old men came out again and took our victory to remake in the likeness of the former world they knew.... T. E. Lawrence

Friends, there is nothing like your own family to make you appreciate strangers! Barbara Kingsolver
the children themselves repaid her griefs with small joys. These joys were so small that they could not be seen, like gold in the sand, and in her bad moments she saw only the griefs, only sand; but there were also good moments, when she saw only joys, only gold. Leo Tolstoy

loves are like empires: when the idea they are founded on crumbles, they, too, fade away Milan Kundera
I am sentimental? she said.?I could dissect a koala but not its baby. I like the words damozel, eglantine, elegant. I love when you kiss my elongated white hand. Vladimir Nabokov

I wish, as well as every body else, to be perfectly happy; but like every body else, it must be in my own way. Jane Austen
I am in no way supportive of hunting for trophies or sport - would never do it and don't like it that others do. But if you kill it, then eat it, it's fine. Anthony Bourdain
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "--you wouldn't have hurt me like this for nothing. So what..."
--you wouldn't have hurt me like this for nothing. So what have I done? How have I wronged you? Tell me. Fyodor Dostoevsky
The worst readers are those who proceed like plundering soldiers: they pick up a few things they use, soil and confuse the rest, and blaspheme the whole. Friedrich Nietzsche
...raised herself on one round elbow and looked out on a tiny river like a gleaming blue snake winding itself around a purple hill. Right below the house was a field white as snow with daisies, and the shadow of the huge maple tree that bent over the little house fell lacily across it. Far beyond it were the white crests of Four Winds Harbour and a long range of sun-washed dunes and red cliffs. L. M. Montgomery
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can hurt like..."
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can hurt like hell. Chuck Palahniuk
Edward's grief if you die will be a terrible thing. It will hurt him, a lot, and men like him never grieve alone. He will spread his grief all over us, not because we failed, but because it'll give him something to focus on so he doesn't have to feel the pain. Laurell K. Hamilton
In the depths of the mirror the evening landscape moved by, the mirror and the reflected figures like motion pictures superimposed one on the other. The figures and the background were unrelated, and yet the figures, transparent and intangible, and the background, dim in the gathering darkness, melted into a sort of symbolic world not of this world. Particularly when a light out in the mountains shone in the centre of the girl's face, Shimamura felt his chest rise at the inexpressible beauty... Yasunari Kawabata
Charles M. Schulz quote: "There's nothing like unrequited love to take all the flavor..."
There's nothing like unrequited love to take all the flavor out of a peanut butter sandwich. Charles M. Schulz
