I had to start watching [The Real Housewives of New Jersey] every week because, well, my IQ was just too high. I mean seriously up there. What can I tell you? After watching every episode, I am now officially as dumb as that brown, particle-like stuff you find outside and don't want to track inside the house. Rhymes with "wirt", I think. ↗

لقد وقفت مشدوها يا صديقي، وكأني أرى هذا المزيج الهلامي المعلق بين الأرض و السماء كأني أرى الإرادة المجتمعة ، كأني أرى كل ما لدى الناس من حب وقد ضمته صرخة واحدة. كأن تلك الأجساد الخشنة الملوثة بالطين والتراب تفرز مادة أكثر سمواً من الحياة ، خلاصة الحياة، جماع كل ما هو قادر فيها وقاهر ، وجماع كل ما لا يمكن مقاومته ، القوة العليا الخارقة ، سر الحياة . ↗

We accepted their congratulations with good grace and proper modesty, but I felt then as I feel now, that I would have given my life to save Dresden for the world’s generations to come. That is how everyone should feel about every city on earth. ↗

Many find in sex and economics the meaning of life and the reason of it all. The consequence of this is that the goal of life for many has become a relief of tension. ↗

Life will follow the path it started upon, and will neither reverse nor check its course; it will make no noise, it will not remind you of its swiftness. Silent it will glide on; it will not prolong itself at the command of a king, or at the applause of the populace. Just as it was started on its first day, so it will run; nowhere will it turn aside, nowhere will it delay. ↗

I'm sixteen with what I hope will be a long life ahead, but I'm willing to give it up, to give anything to let her live, to let her make it through the night. ↗

Sometimes it didn't matter how much gumption you had. What mattered were the cards you'd been dealt. ↗

Humor can make a serious difference. In the workplace, at home, in all areas of life – looking for a reason to laugh is necessary. A sense of humor helps us to get through the dull times, cope with the difficult times, enjoy the good times and manage the scary times. ↗
