Random Quotes and Quotations
 The State, that cawing rookery of committees and subcommittees.  You can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine. All men are poets at heart. We must each find our separate meaning in the persuasion of our days until we meet in the meaning of the world. It is not our circumstances that c reate our discontent or contentment. It is us. If I'd been a housemaid, I'd have been the best in Australia-I couldn't help it. It's got to be perfection for me. Make haste slowly. Life begins on the other side of despair. The tulip is, among flowers, what the peacock is among birds. A tulip lacks scent, a peacock has an unpleasant voice. The one takes pride in its garb, the other in its tail. When we hurt each other we should write it down in the sand, so the winds of forgiveness can make it go away for good. When we help each other we should chisel it in stone, lest we never forget the love of a friend. My agent gets 10 percent of everything I get, except the blinding headaches. As I got warmed up, and felt perfectly at home in talk, I heard myself boasting, lying, exaggerating. Oh, not deliberately, far from it. It would be unconvivial and dull to stop and arrest the flow of talk, and speak only after carefully considering whether I was telling the truth. When thou goest to woman, take thy whip. Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right. A neurotic is the man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man who lives in it. And a psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent. You've got to think about "big things" while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction. When I talked, no one listened to me. But as soon as I acted I became persuasive, and I no longer find anyone incredulous. Life is action and passion; therefore, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived. A good life fears not life, nor death. It is better to be looked over than overlooked. - Mae West
