What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write? Ernest Hemingway
A girl who would fall in love so easily or want a man to love her so easily would probably get over it just as quickly, very little the worse for wear. On the contrary, a girl who would take love seriously would probably be a good while finding herself in love and would require something beyond mere friendly attentions from a man before she would think of him in that light. L. M. Montgomery
People often ask me where I stand politically. It's not that I disagree with Bush's economic policy or his foreign policy, it's that I believe he was a child of Satan sent here to destroy the planet Earth. Little to the left. Bill Hicks
Virginia C. Andrews quote: "She's a beautiful flower put in a pot and hidden in a closet...."
She's a beautiful flower put in a pot and hidden in a closet. You can't keep her a little girl forever. Virginia C. Andrews
