Marriage is a wonderful institution...but who wants to live in an institution?
* Groucho Marx

Trying to grow up is hurting, you know. You make mistakes. You try to learn from them, and when you don't, it hurts even more.
* Aretha Franklin

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.
* Aldous Huxley

Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies.
* Thomas Paine

Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?...if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.
* Ursula K. Le Guin

What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself---and thus make yourself indispensable.
* Andre Gide

I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course
* Tiger Woods

Whatever comes out of despair cannot bear the title of valor, which should be lifted up to such a height, that holding all things under itself, it should be able to maintain its greatness, even in the midst of miseries.
* Philip Sidney

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!
* Walter Scott

Sometimes we laugh because a joke is funny. Sometimes we laugh to show we're smart enough to understand the joke in question.
* Ben Casnocha

Then what makes a beautiful human being? Isn't it the presence of human excellence? Young friend, if you wish to be beautiful, then work diligently at human excellence. And what is that? Observe those whom you praise without prejudice. The just or the unjust? The just. The even-tempered or the undisciplined? The even-tempered. The self-controlled or the uncontrolled? The self-controlled. In making yourself that kind of person, you will become beautiful---but to the extent you ignore these qualities, you'll be ugly, even if you use every trick in the book to appear beautiful.
* Epictetus
