I held hands with her all the time; that doesn't sound like much, I realize, but she was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hand all the time, as if they were afraid they'd bore you or something. Jane was different. We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were. ~J. D. Salinger

Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times. Many times in history there has been complete disagreement between the two branches of the Government, and in these disagreements sometimes the Congress has won and sometimes the President has won. But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Once I began doing stand-up, I didn't get a kick out of the applause or being the centre of attention; but I did get a kick out of the jigsaw puzzle aspect of it, searching for the right bit, adding another few pieces each night until the bigger picture appears. That's the appeal: the challenge of it. ~Stephen Merchant

I'm a person that just likes to speak the truth, and I don't understand why in America, it's such a big deal that we won't read the Koran and we won't look at history. ~Pat Robertson

If I'm with a man, is that going to prevent me from achieving my goal? What sacrifices will I have to make in terms of being myself, if I'm with a man? Something that young women find out really quickly is that when you start dating, all of a sudden you're supposed to have a role. You're not allowed to just be yourself. ~Candance Bushnell

My hope is that I can somehow raise the level of consciousness about world events. ~Lisa Ling

For piety lies not in being often seen turning a veiled head to stones, nor in approaching every altar, nor in lying prostrate before the temples of the gods, nor in sprinkling altars with the blood of beasts but rather in being able to look upon all things with a mind at peace. ~Lucretius

The real difference between telling what happened and telling a story about what happened is that instead of being a victim of our past, we become master of it. ~Donald Davis

It is a shocking trick for a young person to be always lolling upon a sofa. ~Jane Austen
#quotes #jane-austen #laziness #work

In reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

I believe a woman, in order to be a good wife, must be both sensual and maternal. ~Elisabeth Elliot
