However virtuous a woman may be, a compliment on her virtue is what gives her the least pleasure.
Michel, 14th Prince of Ligne
Image
If I describe a person's physical appearance in my writing, which I often do, especially in fiction, I never say someone is black or white. I may describe the color of their skin - black eyes, beige skin, blue eyes, dark skin, etc. But I'm not talking about race.
Jamaica Kincaid
Image
There is no use being alive if one must work. The event from which each of us is entitled to expect the revelation of his own life’s meaning - that event which I may not yet have found, but on whose path I seek myself - is not earned by work.
Andre Breton
Image
Peace without energy may be only stagnation and energy without peace may be but a form of panic.
W. Graham Scroggie
Image
Dumpers may not always be the heartbreakers, and the Dumpees may not always be the heartbroken. But everyone has a tendency.
John Green
Image
We are not commanded (or forbidden) to love our mates, our children, our friends, our country because such affections come naturally to us and are good in themselves, although we may corrupt them. We are commanded to love our neighbor because our natural attitude toward the other is one of either indifference or hostility.
W. H. Auden
Image
The stars are dead. The animals will not look: We are left alone with our day, and the time is short, and History to the defeated May say Alas but cannot help nor pardon.
W. H. Auden
Image
Ten years ago U.S. defence investment represented almost half of all defence expenditure in the whole alliance. Today it is 75%. This increasing economic gap may also lead to an increasing technology gap which will almost hamper the inter-operability between our forces.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen
Image
America may be the land of the free, but there are definitely more ignorant people there. Most of the population are semi-retarded.
Kurt Cobain
Image
It's a truism that denials never quite catch up with charges. Honest journalists who may have mistakenly printed false information know that the most prominent retraction never quite undoes the damage done by the original publication.
Tom Wicker
Image
The camera may do justice to laughter, but must degrade sorrow.
W. H. Auden
Image
Yes, I will spend the livelong day With Nature in this month of May And sit beneath the trees, and share My bread with birds whose homes are there While cows lie down to eat, and sheep Stand to their necks in grass so deep While birds do sing with all their might, As though they felt the earth in flight.

Modern Carpet Designs may provide endless entertainment for your guests.
W. Heath Robinson
Image
Ugly women may be naturally quite as capricious as pretty ones but as they are never petted and spoiled, and as no allowances are made for them, they soon find themselves obliged either to suppress their whims or to hide them.
Anatole France
Image
Distrust even Mathematics albeit so sublime and highly perfected, we have here a machine of such delicacy it can only work in vacuo, and one grain of sand in the wheels is enough to put everything out of gear. One shudders to think to what disaster such a grain of sand may bring a Mathematical brain. Remember Pascal.
Anatole France

Who knows but we may count among our intellectual chickens Like them an Earl of Thackeray and p'raps a Duke of Dickens
W. S. Gilbert
Image
The first divorce in the world may have been a tragedy, but the hundred-millionth is not necessarily one.
Anatole Broyard
Image
To illustrate what I mean, an apt dancer may be in thorough unison with the others in that particular group, and at the same time reveal a difference in dancing temperament, rhythm or technique she may phrase, accentuate or actually interpret differently.
Florenz Ziegfeld
Image
When you are lying awake with a dismal headache, and repose is tabooed by anxiety, I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in without impropriety.
W. S. Gilbert
Image
If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack, You may get a bland smile from these sages But should it, by chance, be imported from France, Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!
W. S. Gilbert
Image
In short, whoever you may be, To this conclusion you'll agree, When every one is somebodee, Then no one's anybody!
W. S. Gilbert
Image
The outcome of a non-constant-sum game may be dictated by the individual rationality of the respective players without satisfying a criterion of collective rationality.
Anatol Rapoport
Image
In 'whichever direction' you may turn your gaze you will find One Eternal Indivisible Being manifested. Yet, it is not at all easy to detect this Presence, because He interpenetrates everything.
Anandamayi Ma
Image
Solitude may rust your words.
