Virginia Woolf quote: "Kind old ladies assure us that cats are often the best judges..."
Kind old ladies assure us that cats are often the best judges of character. A cat will always go to a good man, they say[.] Virginia Woolf
The cat dropped the rat between its two front paws. "There are those," it said with a sigh, in tones as smooth as oiled silk, "who have suggested that the tendency of a cat to play with its prey is a merciful one - after all, it permits the occasional funny little running snack to escape, from time to time. How often does your dinner get to escape? Neil Gaiman
Virginia Woolf quote: ". . . clumsiness is often mated with a love of solitude."
. . . clumsiness is often mated with a love of solitude. Virginia Woolf

Dreams are the psyche's way of taking a good dump every now and then. And that people who dream - or don't dream in a way they can often remember when they wake up - are mentally constipated in some way. Stephen King
Fear pounds on the door to our heart demanding to be let in. Joy is modest and often comes into our lives like a shy person entering a room; it can take a while to even notice it’s there. Jonathan Carroll
To use a man for what he is naturally best fitted is to keep him, if one can, from apostasy and dissatisfaction. At the same time, life's temptations come most often from that for which one has the greatest aptitude. Fulton J. Sheen
Ardour in well-doing is a misleading and a treacherous thing. It cries out loudly for employment; you can't satisfy it at first; it wants more and more; it is eager to move mountains and divert the course of rivers. It isn't content till it perspires. And then, too often, when it feels the perspiration on its brow, it wearies all of a sudden and dies, without even putting itself to the trouble of saying, "I've had enough of this. Arnold Bennett
Healthy" and "diseased," as Susan Sontag points out...are often subjective judgments that society makes for its own purposes. Women have long been defined as sick as a means of subjecting them to social control. Naomi Wolf
Jane Austen quote: "Why not seize the pleasure at once? -- How often is happiness..."
Why not seize the pleasure at once? -- How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation! Jane Austen
Wisdom... is often an abstraction associated not with fact or reality but with the man who asserts it and the manner of its assertion. John Kenneth Galbraith
We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers. Deny us for our good; so find we profit. By losing of our prayers. William Shakespeare
I confess to wincing every so often at a poorly chosen word, a mangled sentence, an expression of emotion that seems indulgent or overly practiced. I have the urge to cut the book by fifty pages or so, possessed as I am with a keener appreciation for brevity. Barack Obama
California has often led the country, indeed the world, in the technology, consumption, trends, lifestyles, and of course, mass entertainment. It is where the car found its earliest and fullest expression, where suburbs blossomed, where going to gym replaced going to church, where forces that lead so many to assume that direct democracy is the wave of the future - declining political parties, telecommuting, new technology, the internet generation 0 are all most well developed in this vast land. Fareed Zakaria
