Brilliant. A very funny and concise explanation of why we men are as we are. If you are male, you should read it and then make your partner read it, so they will no longer hate you but pity you instead. ~Harry Enfield

How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst

Judge me if you want to. And as a matter of fact, it won't even count, 'cause the only person who can judge is God. ~Kelly Rowland
#quotes #kelly-rowland #god #judging

She didn't want to think about how wrong this was or how foolish it was to give herself to a known seducer. Because tonight Oliver wasn't that man. Not to her. He was the boy who'd cried over his dead mother, the young man who'd lost himself in drink and women to forget the past, the marquess who'd vowed not to marry for money. He was the man to be her lover. ~Sabrina Jeffries

Man has gone long enough, or even too long, without being man enough to face the simple truth that the trouble with man is man. ~James Thurber
#quotes #james-thurber #truth #human

A world of few choices, whether in jeans or mates, is a world in which individual differences become sources of alienation, unhappiness, even self-loathing. If no jeans fit, you'll feel uncomfortable or inferior. If no housing developments reflect your taste for unique architecture, you'll write screeds against philistine mass culture. ~Virginia Postrel

I want so much that is not here and do not know where to go. ~Charles Bukowski

"A woman doesn't want to be told she looks nice," Jude nuttered as she sat down beside maud's grave. "She wants to be told she's beautiful, sexy. That she looks outrageous. It dosen't matter if its not true." She sighed and laid the flowers against the headstone. "Because for the moment, when the words are said and the words are heard, it's perfect truth." ~Nora Roberts

I feel very strongly that the Democratic Party has, in the past, been the party of the future. I think when you look at Social Security and Medicare, when you look at the civil rights movement, the women's movement, I think the Democratic Party has always been in the forefront of change. ~Richard Lamm

I love to work, so give me what you have got. I will play a tree, if you want me to. If you want fruit on it, then pay me more money. Otherwise, I just love to work. ~Danny Trejo
#quotes #danny-trejo #work

If you want to know how much I miss you, try to catch rain drops. The ones you catch is how much you miss me, and the ones you miss is how much I miss you.

You know, I think, I think the Palestinians are trying to get away without negotiating. They're trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it. They're trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the U.N. and have the automatic majority in the U.N. General Assembly give them, give them a state. ~Benjamin Netanyahu

Irony: While we increasingly hold people more responsible if they drink and drive, we hold women less responsible if they drink and have sex. ~Warren Farrell
#quotes #warren-farrell #relationship #alcohol

We are all human beings, immigrant or non-immigrant. We all feel fear. We all love and become confused when we don't act as well as we would like to. We all get depressed and have feelings of uselessness. All of these things are true and have always been true. ~Akhil Sharma
#quotes #akhil-sharma #love #fear
