By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Classic Quotes by Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer

Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.


Classic Quotes by P. T. Barnum (1810-1891) U.S. entrepreneur, showman

Classic Quotes by Dame Barbara Cartland (1901-2000) English novelist



A historical romance is the only kind of book where chastity really counts.

---------------

A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn't want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband.

---------------

A woman asking "Am I good? Am I satisfied?" is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.

---------------

A woman should say: "Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?" If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy.

Classic Quotes by Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) US writer









Alcohol is like love.
The first kiss is magic,
the second is intimate,
the third is routine.
After that you take the girl's clothes off...

Classic Quotes by Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) US writer

A really good detective never gets married.

You should always believe what you read in the newspapers, for that makes them more interesting.

Dame Rose Macaulay (1881-1958) English writer

Argument, again, is the death of conversation, if carried on in a spirit of hostility: but discussion is a pleasant and profitable thing, where you advance and defend your opinions as far as you can, and admit the truth of what is objected against them with equal impartiality.


—William Hazlitt, English essayist, On the Conversation of Authors, 1826

" I have walked through many lives, some of them my
own, and I am not who I was."
- Stanley Kunitz, " The Layers"

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.



~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

You were born an original. Don't die a copy.

~John Mason

I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.

Confucius

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.


Julius Caesar, Act II, Sc. II

Authority forgets a dying king.



Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) English writer

"Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always." -
