Laugh all you want and cry all you want and whistle at pretty men in the street and to hell with anybody who thinks you're a damned fool!
Armistead Maupin
Bad people are, from the point of view of art, fascinating studies. They represent colour, variety and strangeness. Good people exasperate one's reason; bad people stir one's imagination.
Oscar Wilde
I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.
Jimi Hendrix
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down.
Jeanette Winterson
There will always be a place for us somewhere, somehow, as long as we see to it that working people fight for everything they have, everything they hope to get, for dignity, equality, democracy, to oppose war and to bring to the world a better life.
Harry Bridges
I hope I may have succeeded in presenting to you, however imperfectly, the currents of thought due to the work of the immortal Darwin which have helped to make anthropology what it is at the present time.
Franz Boas
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
Vince Lombardi
I've always been a fan of a Johnny Carson because he was so great with an audience and not afraid of self-deprecating humor.
Vince Vaughn
Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course.
Helen Rowland
Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
William Faulkner
