I feel lucky that I had my children late. Not that I would advise it in any shape or form. But I know friends who had children when they were young, struggled with feeling trapped. I can honestly say I have never once resented the fact that I could not go out because of my kids. ~Mariella Frostrup

I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe. I would certainly be interested in deserving it, but to receive it would be terrible. It would just complicate even more the problems of fame. The only thing I really regret in life is not having a daughter. ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez

What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious. My response is that I will make up my mind when God does, because life is a commingling of the sacred and the profane, good and evil. To try and separate them is fallacy. ~Tom Robbins
#quotes #tom-robbins #critic #writing

A philosopher is, no doubt, entitled to examine even those distinctions that are to be found in the structure of all languages; in that case, such a distinction may be imputed to a vulgar error, which ought to be corrected in philosophy. ~Thomas Reid
#quotes #thomas-reid #philosophy #errors

It is a common teaching of the Saints that one of the principal means of leading a good and exemplary life is certainly modesty and the mortification of the eyes. Just as there is nothing better than modesty to preserve devotion in a soul and to edify one's neighbor, so too, there is nothing worse than immodesty and licentious glances to expose a person to the danger of becoming lax and loose in morals. ~Alphonsus Rodriguez

#quotes #george-herbert #honor

I believe, as followers of Christ, we are commanded to reach out to the least of these in the name of Jesus and show them they matter a great deal to God, who sacrificed His only Son to reach them with His love. ~K.P. Yohannan
#quotes #k-p-yohannan #christianity #jesus

Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears. ~Louis D. Brandeis

I just can't sleep tonight knowing that things ain't right. ~Justin Bieber

I think that tennis is a lady's sport, so we should look out there like ladies. ~Anna Kournikova

The family is the first economy. If the family breaks down, well, government gets bigger because of the consequences of family breakdown. We see in the neighborhoods where there are no marriages and there are no two-parent families. ~Rick Santorum
