You can beat 40 scholars with one fact, but you cannot beat one idiot with 40 facts.
There’s one thing worse than being boring. It is to be immoral
If it’s dancing, or anything else in life my darling, that matters to you, then don’t let anything or anyone stop you.
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.
In this house, I’m not famous. Because the dog doesn’t care. And my children hopefully appreciate me more for our regular interaction and conversations,
I’m not wise, but the beginnings of wisdom are there; it’s like relaxing into – and accepting – things.
The longer I stay at home, the more homeless I look.
I have no vices only desires.
If you live for weekends or vacations, your shit is broken.
If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.
I was raised in a free and liberal home. I have never felt threatened by other cultures, other colors or other ways of thinking. In 30 years, there will be more and more colors in the minds of the people who walk around our streets. And we want to move around a lot more ourselves. It is also necessary that we open up if we are to remain strong at that time.

I had to go through so horribly much before I found out to skip where the fence is lowest.
I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.
Throughout my life, the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide and in them I find hope. It is my heartfelt prayer that you will continue to be sustained by your faith in times of trial and encouraged by hope in times of despair.
An amazing breathlessness arises because we fill our lives with emptiness and Facebook. In a discussion about the empty calories of Facebook, someone close to me said with great seriousness: “I have 190 friends on Facebook.” Then I replied: “Yes, but hardly one of them will pick up your coffin the day you leave here.” Why not use the time for some fewer and real friends in the real world.
