Random Quotes and Quotations
 A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself. He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts.  Man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. No man is so exquisitely honest or upright in living but that ten times in his life he might not lawfully be hanged. The happiest excitement in life is to be convinced that one is fighting for all one is worth on behalf of some clearly seen and deeply felt good. Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies. In the mind and nature of a man a secret is an ugly thing, like a hidden physical defect. From a shy, timid girl I had become a woman of resolute character, who could no longer be frightened by the struggle with troubles. Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm; it moves stones, it charms brutes. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it.

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. - Bible The home of everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose. Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safer place. - Ice T
