It was clear that Mme Danglars was suffering from one of those nervous irritations which women are often unable to explain even to themselves. Alexander Dumas
All is like, all unlike; all is useful and harmful, eloquent and dumb, reasonable and unreasonable. And what people profess about individual matters is often contradictory. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sometimes I think I don't deserve a nice brother like Linus..."I have often thought the same thing."Dear Linus, please send me another canoe. The first one broke when I threw it at Charlie Brown. Charles M. Schulz
If you ask where a relationship is going too often the question has a habit of turning into where the relationship went. Unfortunately, however, God has given women an inbuilt irresistible urge to insist on knowing where their relationships are going, and to force their partners to discuss the matter at length whenever they are late for something.

And why their children, inevitably, took those things for granted. It meant that new values and new expectations had crept into our societies along with new standards of living. Hence the materialistic and often greedy and selfish... Jane Goodall
In a world where nearly everything that passes for art is tinny and commercial and often, in addition, hollow and academic, I argue--by reason and by banging the table--for an old-fashioned view of what art is and does and what the fundamental business of critics ought therefore to be. Not that I want joy taken out of the arts; but even frothy entertainment is not harmed by a touch of moral responsibility, at least an evasion of too fashionable simplifications. John Gardner
Stephen King quote: "What can be done when you’re eleven can often never be done..."
What can be done when you’re eleven can often never be done again. Stephen King
...and I reminded myself that the reproach of intellectualism is often directed at the most sensitive natures, those most ardently alive, those obliged by their frailty or their excess of strength constantly to resort to the arduous disciplines of the mind. Marguerite Yourcenar
When we are young... we often experience things in the present with a nostalgia-in-advance, but we seldom guess what we will truly prize years from now. Edmund White
It requires but a very small glance of thought to perceive, that although laws made in one generation often continue in force through succeeding generations, yet that they continue to derive their force from the consent of the living. A law not repealed continues in force, not because it cannot be repealed, but because it is not repealed; and the non repealing passes for consent. Thomas Paine
