I know that's what people say-- you'll get over it. I'd say it, too. But I know it's not true. Oh, youll be happy again, never fear. But you won't forget. Every time you fall in love it will be because something in the man reminds you of him. Betty Smith
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death. Eleanor Roosevelt
Charles Bukowski quote: "I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around."
I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around. Charles Bukowski
Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can! J. R. R. Tolkien
Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go. They didn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me- that no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity. Taylor Swift

To me, nudity is a joke. I don't think nude people are very attractive at all. I like my women fully clothed. I like to imagine what might be under there. It might not be the standard thing. Imagine, stripping a woman down, and she has a body like a little submarine. With periscope, propellers, torpedoes. That would be the one for me. I'd marry her right off and be faithful to the end. Charles Bukowski
Oscar Wilde quote: "My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other..."
My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's. Oscar Wilde
So it's not all that important who people really are. Honestly, you could end up spending your life with almost anyone, and it wouldn't matter who - because the person they are to you is totally dependent on your view of them. Skylar Laine
A. Whitney Brown quote: "I'd be content if my children grew up to be people who think..."
I'd be content if my children grew up to be people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. A. Whitney Brown
Thou are my only reality-- all other people are but shadows to me: all events and actions, in which thou dost not mingle, are but dreams. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Pablo Casals quote: "In music, in the sea, in a flower, in a leaf, in an act of..."
In music, in the sea, in a flower, in a leaf, in an act of kindness... I see what people call God in all these things. Pablo Casals
