From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
-Salman Rushdie
All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.
-Tahereh Mafi
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
-Tennessee Williams
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
-Winston S. Churchill
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
Beauty, n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
-Ambrose Bierce
