“This nightmare occupied some ten pages of manuscript and wound off with a sermon so destructive of all hope to non-Presbyterians that it took the first prize. This composition was considered to be the very finest effort of the evening.... It may be remarked, in passing, that the number of compositions in which the word beauteous was over-fondled, and human experience referred to as lifes page, was up to the usual average.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“With money and wine, you will have many friends, but when you are in trouble, will you see even one?”
—Chinese proverb.
“I began to realize that it was bigotry of the worst kind to say that its better to be dead than to be born retarded or blind or without a limb. Its a value judgment youre making about someones life, based on their degree of perfection.”
—Juli Loesch (b. c. 1953)
“It becomes the moralist, too, to inquire what man might do to improve and beautify the system; what to make the stars shine more brightly, the sun more cheery and joyous, the moon more placid and content.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
