  • Chris Rock
    "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?"
    Chris Rock


  • Douglas Adams
    "A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.""
    Douglas Adams (The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time)


  • Louis de Bernières
    "Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being "in love", which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
    Louis de Bernières (Captain Corelli's Mandolin)


  • E.B. White
    "'Why did you do all this for me?" he asked. "I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.'
    'You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte. 'That in itself is a tremendous thing.'"
    E.B. White (Charlotte's Web)


  • Maya Angelou
    ""My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style" "
    Maya Angelou


  • Kurt Vonnegut
    "Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind."
    Kurt Vonnegut


  • Isaac Asimov
    "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'"
    Isaac Asimov


  • Jack Handey
    "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes."
    Jack Handey


  • Cassandra Clare
    "There is no pretending," Jace said with absolute clarity. "I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then."
    Cassandra Clare (City of Glass)


  • Tom Robbins
    "Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free."
    Tom Robbins (Still Life with Woodpecker)


  • Maya Angelou
    "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
    Maya Angelou


  • Terry Pratchett
    "I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    "Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice."
    Terry Pratchett (Sourcery)


  • Paulo Coelho
    "Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?"
    Paulo Coelho (Eleven Minutes: A Novel)


  • Dorothy Parker
    "(When asked to use "horticulture" in a sentence) You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."
    Dorothy Parker (The Portable Dorothy Parker)


  • Erma Bombeck

    Erma Bombeck


  • Winston S. Churchill

    Winston S. Churchill

  • Bill Watterson

  • Nick Hornby
    "How do people, like, not curse? How is it possible? There are these gaps in speech where you just have to put a "fuck." I'll tell you who the most admirable people in the world are: newscasters. If that was me, I'd be like, "And the motherfuckers flew the fucking plane right into the Twin Towers." How could you not, if you're a human being? Maybe they're not so admirable. Maybe they're robot zombies."
    Nick Hornby (A Long Way Down)


  • Lemony Snicket
    "A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called "The Road Less Traveled", describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. The poet found that the road less traveled was peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along, because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. Sure enough, that poet is dead."
    Lemony Snicket (The Slippery Slope)


  • Andy Rooney
    "Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80%of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!"
    Andy Rooney


  • Neil Gaiman
    "When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. "It's all right" we whisper, "I'm here, I love you." and we lie: "I'll never leave you." For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad."
    Neil Gaiman (Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days)


  • Jodi Picoult

    Orson Scott Card


  • Douglas Adams
    ""So this is it. We're going to die."
    "Yes...except...No! Wait a minute, what's this switch?"
    "What? Where?"
    "No, I was only fooling. We are going to die after all." "
    Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)


  • Chuck Palahniuk
    "A girl calls and asks, "Does it hurt very much to die?"
    Well, sweetheart, I tell her, yes, but it hurts a lot more to keep living."
    Chuck Palahniuk (Survivor)


  • Jack Kerouac
    "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
    Jack Kerouac


  • Jodi Picoult
    ""Did you ever walk through a room that's packed with people, and feel so lonely you can hardly take the next step?" "

    Mother Teresa


  • Cassandra Clare

  • Betty Smith
    "Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost."
    Betty Smith (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)


  • Hunter S. Thompson
    "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!'"
    Hunter S. Thompson


  • Lemony Snicket
    "As I am sure you know, when people say "It's my pleasure", they usually mean something along the lines of, "There's nothing on Earth I would rather do less."[...]"

  • Richelle Mead
    ""You will lose what you value most, so treasure it while you can.""
    Richelle Mead (Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3))


  • Ray Bradbury
    "The books are to remind us what asses and fool we are. They're Caeser's praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, "Remember, Caeser, thou art mortal." Most of us can't rush around, talking to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for, Montag, are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book. Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore."
    Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451)

    — Henri De Montherlant

  • G.K. Chesterton
    "The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man."
    G.K. Chesterton


  • Dalai Lama XIV
    "The Dalai Lama's Instructions for life:

    Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

    When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

    Follow the three R's:
    - Respect for self.
    - Respect for others.
    - Responsibility for all your actions.

    Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

    Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

    Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

    When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

    Spend some time alone everyday.

    Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

    Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

    Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

    A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

    In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

    Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

    Be gentle with the earth.

    Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

    Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

    Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

    Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon."

    Frances Hodgson Burnett (A Little Princess)
