Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.

Ralph Waldo Emerson




My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born.

Anton Szandor LaVey




Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts.

Which is the poorer soul, the one who experiences excrutiating grief for but mere moments of true joy? Or is it the one who lives in complete neurality, the one who experiences neither end of the spectrum?

Devon Bowie

Your words may hurt my feelings, but your silence breaks my heart.

Anonomyous




The difference between a smart man and a wise one is this: A smart man can work his way out of a difficulty that the wise man will not get into in the first place.




Love is magical, it's a language the deaf can hear; a song the crippled can dance to and a sunset the blind can see!

John F. Kennedy




The arrogance of the able-bodied is staggering.

Poisonwood Bible




Men who treat women as helpless and charming playthings deserve women who treat men as delightful and generous bank accounts.

Gentlemens Quarterly




Life is truly good when you can enjoy the rain.

Allen Blanks




The hardest part of life is finding out that not everyone wishes you well.

Dan Rather




Life is not so much about saying Hello..as it is Goodbye.




There are 2 important things in life, food and philosophy. You live on food, you live for your philosophy

Rahul Easwar




I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Jack London




That much he knew. He had fallen into the darkness. And at the instant he knew, he ceased to know.

Jack London
