Beauty is self-defined, perceived and understood without ambiguity. It's the stuff that lies under the skins of our individual existences. ~Terence McKenna
#quotes #terence-mckenna #beauty #life
Her last conscious thought was disgust at life; her senses had lied to her. The world was not made of energy and delight but of foulness, betrayal, and lassitude. Living was hateful, and death was no better, and from end to end of the universe this was the first and last and only truth. ~Philip Pullman

Never underestimate the hypocrisy of politicians. ~James Herbert

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

Whenever you can, act as a liberator. Freedom, dignity, wealth; these three together constitute the greatest happiness of humanity. If you bequeath all three to your people, their love for you will never die. ~Cyrus the Great

Judging is a lonely job in which a man is, as near as may be, an island entire. ~Abe Fortas

The way to plan the family is natural family planning not contraception. In destroying the power of giving life, through contraception, a husband or wife is doing something to self, and so it destroys the gift of life in him or her ~Mother Teresa

The truest success is but the development of self. ~Charles Atlas
#quotes #charles-atlas #self
All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility. ~Patricia Briggs

Every life has its years in which one progresses as on a tedious and dusty street of poplars, without caring to know where he is. ~Max Muller

It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player. ~Anna Kournikova
#quotes #anna-kournikova #sports #tennis
There will be many times in your lives; at school, and more particularly when you are a grown up; when people will distract or divert you from what needs to be done. You may even welcome the distraction. But if you use it as an excuse for not doing what you suppose to do, you can blame no one but yourself. If you truly wish to accomplish something, you should allow nothing to stop you, and chances are you'll succeed. ~Julie Andrews

Of all our infirmities, the most savage is to despise our being. ~Michel de Montaigne

What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back; you have to be a kind of team going through life. ~Tom Petty

I want to take back at least half of the "I love you"s, because I didn't mean them as much as the other ones. ~David Levithan
