Love reigns a very tyrant in my heart.

Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment.

If we must part for ever, Give me but one kind word to think upon, And please myself withal, whilst my heart's breaking!

False as the adulterate promises of favorites in power when poor men court them.

Could my griefs speak, the tale would have no end.

Shining through tears, like April suns in showers, that labor to overcome the cloud that loads em.

Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten.

Cowards are scared with threatenings; boys are whipped into confession; but a steady mind acts of itself, ne'er asks the body counsel.

Let us embrace, and from this very moment vow an eternal misery together.

Honesty needs no disguise nor ornament; be plain.

Clocks will go as they are set, but man, irregular man, is never constant, never certain.

I thank my mother (Ma, you're only second cause you got the dedication), who used to make me write essays whenever I got into trouble, explaining exactly what I'd done and why I'd done it.

If you have something that people connect with, you want to keep telling that story and progressing forward.

The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.

Always wear sunscreen and wash your makeup off at night.

From what I can see, too many kids don't learn pride in their country anymore.

My egotistical concern was less that I would fail to relate to my classmates than that they would know nothing of my uniquely tortured life's course and, thus, me.

The mission of the church is missions.

The time has come for people of reason to say: Enough is Enough! Religious faith discourages independent thought, it's divisive and it's dangerous.

Love is a state of temporary psychosis.
