Some days I do appreciate things more, eggs, flowers, but then I decide I'm only having an attack of sentimentality, my brain going pastel Technicolor, like a beautiful-sunset greeting cards they used to make so many of in California. High-gloss hearts. The danger is grayout. Margaret Atwood
There is no choice more intensely personal, after all, than whom you choose to marry; that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are. Elizabeth Gilbert

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful. Sophia Loren
You’d better get busy, though, buddy. The goddamn sands run out on you every time you turn around. I know what I’m talking about. You’re lucky if you get time to sneeze in this goddamn phenomenal world. {...} I used to worry about that. I don’t worry about it very much any more. At least I’m still in love with Yorick’s skull. At least I always have time enough to stay in love with Yorick’s skull. I want an honorable goddamn skull when I’m dead, buddy. I hanker after an honorable goddamn skull... J. D. Salinger

I've started to look at life differently. When you're thanking God for every little you - every meal, every time you wake up, every time you take a sip of water - you can't help but be more thankful for life itself, for the unlikely and miraculous fact that you exist at all. A. J. Jacobs
Homer quote: "Fear, O Achilles, the wrath of heaven; think on your own..."
Fear, O Achilles, the wrath of heaven; think on your own father and have compassion upon me, who am the more pitiable Homer
There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. To begin with, it is a prison. But in some respects more cruel than a prison. In a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .In the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or... George Bernard Shaw
One measures oncoming old age by its deepening of Proust, and its deepening by Proust. How to read a novel? Lovingly, if it shows itself capable of accomodating one's love; and jealously, because it can become the image of one's limitations in time and space, and yet can give the Proustian blessing of more life. Harold Bloom
A classical work of literature can never be completely understood. But those who are educated and educating themselves must always desire to learn more from it. Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Please? a little less love, and a little more common decency."
Please? a little less love, and a little more common decency. Kurt Vonnegut
She had been bored all afternoon by Percy Gryce... but she could not ignore him on the morrow, she must follow up her success, must submit to more boredom, must be ready with fresh compliances and adaptibilities, and all on the bare chance that he might ultimately decide to do her the honour of boring her for life. Edith Wharton
I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions do anything, particularly when they taste bad. Ian Fleming
