Famous quotes containing the words rae, sings, lover, man, holiday and/or classics:

    This program has helped me to keep physically healthy and to eat the right foods ... and that’s really what the swimsuit competition is about.
    —Kaye Lani Rae Rafko (b. 1968)

    “Hope” is the thing with feathers—
    That perches in the soul—
    And sings the tunes without the words—
    And never stops—at all—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together—the lover with the loved, the one who hates with the hated. Both passions are tested by separation.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    Why does he not know how to select servants? The ordinary procedure of the nineteenth century is that when a powerful and noble personage encounters a man of feeling, he kills, exiles, imprisons or so humiliates him that the other, like a fool, dies of grief.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in a holiday humor, and
    like enough to consent.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For what are the classics but the noblest thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
