Reasons Quotes (page 123)
When we first got married, we made a pact. It was this: In our life together, it was decided I would make all of the big decisions and my wife would make all of the little decisions. For fifty years, we have held true to that agreement. I believe that is the reason for the success in our marriage. However, the strange thing is that in fifty years, there hasn’t been one big decision.
Albert Einstein
You do not want a war. You have known violence. You have suffered loss. But you have seen nothing of war. War is not just the business of death. It is the anti-thesis of life. Hope, tortured and flayed. Reason, dismembered, grinning at it's limbs in it's lap. Decency raped to death. You will be a murderer. And more.
Joss Whedon
Every story has already been told. Once you've read Anna Karenina, Bleak House, The Sound and the Fury, To Kill a Mockingbird and A Wrinkle in Time, you understand that there is really no reason to ever write another novel. Except that each writer brings to the table, if she will let herself, something that no one else in the history of time has ever had."[Commencement Speech; Mount Holyoke College, May 23, 1999]
