Quotes

To find out if she really loved me, I hooked her up to a lie detector. And just as I suspected, my machine was broken.
 - By Dark Jar Tin Zoo, Love Quotes for the Ages. Specifically Ages 19-91.

I’m a fake fact factory. The things I make are the things I make up. Also, as a side business, I make love. Actually, I just made that up. - By Dora J. Arod, Love quotes for the ages. And the ageless sages.

From the first day I met her, she was the only woman to me. Every day of that voyage I loved her more, and many a time since have I kneeled down in the darkness of the night watch and kissed the deck of that ship because I knew her dear feet had trod it. She was never engaged to me. She treated me as fairly as ever a woman treated a man. I have no complaint to make. It was all love on my side, and all good comradeship and friendship on hers. When we parted she was a free woman, but I could never again be a free man. - By Arthur Conan Doyle, The Return of Sherlock Holmes

I think the act of reading imbues the reader with a sensitivity toward the outside world that people who don't read can sometimes lack. I know it seems like a contradiction in terms; after all reading is such a solitary, internalizing act that it appears to represent a disengagement from day-to-day life. But reading, and particularly the reading of fiction, encourages us to view the world in new and challenging ways...It allows us to inhabit the consciousness of another which is a precursor to empathy, and empathy is, for me, one of the marks of a decent human being. - By John Connolly, The Book of Lost Things

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. - By Mahatma Gandhi

So don't you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine. [Ours] - By Taylor Swift
