Funny is the world I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested.
Jerry SeinfeldIt is necessary to fall in love… if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.
Albert CamusAlways make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity.
Robert GreeneI never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.
Emily DickinsonThe reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
Martin LutherI’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of, such as getting my girlfriend pregnant when I was 23 and the way I handled that.
Steve JobsFamily quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material.
F. Scott FitzgeraldYour friend is your needs answered.
Khalil GibranEvery once in a while I get the highly inappropriate proposal which is like, ‚Wow, Really! You don’t even know me and I don’t know you at all, and you want that to happen? Tonight? Ok, I get off work at 7.30.‘
Dwayne JohnsonAll the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
Carl JungA lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I’m writing about New York.
Lana Del ReyI was always very curious as a young man about why older writers who I met seemed so indifferent to what was going on, whereas I, in my 20s, was reading everything. Everything seemed important. But they were only interested in the writers they admired when they were young, and I didn’t understand it then, but now, now I understand it.
Paul AusterI have an urge to communicate. I think I’m a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn’t talk too much.

Dalai LamaI’ve learned that men and women who are living wholehearted lives really allow themselves to soften into joy and happiness. They allow themselves to experience it.
Brene BrownFriendship often ends in love, but love in friendship – never.
Albert CamusGenerally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?
Anne FrankThere’s nothing better than having a baby. I’ve always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I’d be overwhelmed, and it’s true… I can’t tell you how much my attitude has changed since we’ve got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.
Kurt CobainA friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil GibranI’ve found that men I’ve dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I’ve found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren’t competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been… challenging.
Taylor SwiftMy wife and I don’t compete. We know each other’s preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That’s what friends do.
Matthew McConaugheyWhen people say ‚marriage‘ to me… It’s always a means to an end. Everyone’s so in a rush to define the relationship.

Henry David ThoreauLove can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.
Paulo CoelhoThe love we give away is the only love we keep.
Elbert HubbardA friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend – and he’s a priest.
Erma BombeckSex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.
Woody AllenNever be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.
Alice WalkerSo live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaOf life’s two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer’s hand.
Khalil GibranIn nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.
Alice WalkerAs a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.
ChanakyaWe could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Helen KellerAs long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar WildeThe reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIt’s possible to love a human being if you don’t know them too well.
Charles BukowskiThe story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.
Abraham MaslowNo one can live without relationship. You may withdraw into the mountains, become a monk, a sannyasi, wander off into the desert by yourself, but you are related. You cannot escape from that absolute fact. You cannot exist in isolation.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiA bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.
H. L. MenckenMy friends are my estate.
Emily DickinsonWe make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
Thich Nhat HanhImagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.
Blaise PascalMarriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.
Leonardo da VinciMarriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.
George Bernard ShawHow do I know about a man’s needs for a sex symbol? I’m a girl.
Marilyn MonroeThere are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other.
J. K. RowlingI could fall in love with a sumo wrestler if he told stories and made me laugh. Obviously, it would be easier if someone was African-American and lived next door and went to the same church. Because then I wouldn’t have to translate.
Maya AngelouAnd so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see – or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.
Alice WalkerI approach love differently now that I know it’s hard for it to work out.
Taylor SwiftI’m working at trying to be a Christian, and that’s serious business. It’s like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy – it’s serious business.
Maya AngelouWhat, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.
Mark TwainWhen a man becomes a writer, I think he takes on a sacred obligation to produce beauty and enlightenment and comfort at top speed.
Kurt VonnegutNo one loves the man whom he fears.
AristotleI believe God’s keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can’t give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it’s peace or joy or satisfaction.
Joel OsteenIt was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous HuxleyThere is no remedy for love but to love more.
Henry David ThoreauA day without laughter is a day wasted.
Charlie ChaplinI desire no future that will break the ties with the past.
George EliotWhen you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that’s when I think life is over.
Audrey Hepburn
