1. Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.
2. I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
3. The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
4. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.
5. When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that’s when I think life is over.
6. We all want to be loved, don’t we? Everyone looks for a way of finding love. It’s a constant search for affection in every walk of life.
________________________________ Excerpt from Wikipedia: Audrey Hepburn (born Audrey Kathleen Ruston; 4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993) was a British actress and humanitarian. Although modest about her acting ability, Hepburn remains one of the world’s most famous actresses of all time, remembered as a film and fashion icon of the twentieth century. Redefining glamour with “elfin” features and a gamine waif-like figure that inspired designs by Hubert de Givenchy, she was inducted in the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame, and ranked, by the American Film Institute, as the third greatest female screen legend in the history of American cinema.
Born in Ixelles, a district of Brussels, Hepburn spent her childhood between Belgium, England and the Netherlands, including German-occupied Arnhem during the Second World War. From 1939 on she studied ballet in Arnhem and after the war with Sonia Gaskell in Amsterdam. In 1948 she moved to London where she continued in ballet and performed as a chorus girl in various West End musical theatre productions. After appearing in several British films and starring in the 1951 Broadway play Gigi, Hepburn gained instant Hollywood stardom for playing the Academy Award-winning lead role in Roman Holiday (1953). Later performing in Sabrina (1954), The Nun’s Story (1959), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Charade (1963), My Fair Lady (1964) and Wait Until Dark (1967), Hepburn became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age who received Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations and accrued a Tony Award for her theatrical performance in the 1954 Broadway play Ondine. Hepburn remains one of few entertainers who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards.
She appeared in fewer films as her life went on, and devoted much of her later life to UNICEF. Her war-time struggles inspired her passion for humanitarian work and, although Hepburn had contributed to the organisation since the 1950s, she worked in some of the most profoundly disadvantaged communities of Africa, South America and Asia in the late eighties and early nineties. In 1992, Hepburn was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. She died of appendiceal cancer at her home in Switzerland, aged 63, in 1993.
1. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
2. For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
3. Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!
4. The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters.
5. I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
6. If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
7. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.
8. There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.
9. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
10. You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.
11. You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
12. I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.
13. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.
14. My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.
15. Pick the day. Enjoy it – to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come… The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present, and I don’t want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
16. Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you’re exactly the same.
17. Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at once.
18. A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential.
19. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.
20. I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.
21. It’s that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so ‘don’t fuss, dear; get on with it.
22. Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it.
23. I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I’d invented it, because it is very true.
24. I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.
25. I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
26. Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside but it doesn’t help if your ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up.
27. If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.
28. Good things aren’t supposed to just fall into your lap. God is very generous, but He expects you to do your part first.
1. David Norris: All I have are the choices I make, and I choose her, come what may.
2. I’m not some hopeless romantic. I would never allow myself to be that way, but once I’ve felt, even for a moment, what I felt with you … I didn’t want to settle for less.
3. David Norris: I can go through this door alone. You’ll never see me or the people chasing us again, or you can come with me, and I don’t know what’s on the other side, but you’d be next to me and that’s all I’ve wanted since the minute I met you.

1. Harry Mitchell: Being earlier is just as bad as being late.
2. Harry Mitchell: [talks to David] You’re going to look for her, aren’t you? You won’t find her. They’ll make sure of it. Even if they weren’t trying to stop you, there are nine million people in this city. You’ll never find her. Forget about her. Move on with your life.
3. Richardson: Very few humans have seen what you’ve seen today. And we’re determined to keep it that way. So, if you *ever* reveal our existence, we’ll erase your brain. The intervention team will be sent, your emotions, your memories, your entire personality, will be expunged. Your friends and family will think you’ve gone crazy. You, well, you won’t think anything.
4. David Norris: I don’t care what you put in my way, I’m not giving up!
5. Harry Mitchell: Most people live life on the path we set for them, too afraid to explore any other. But once in a while people like you come along who knock down all the obstacles we put in your way. People who realize freewill is a gift that you’ll never know how to use until you fight for it. I think that’s the chairman’s real plan. And maybe, one day, we won’t write the plan. You will.
1. Paul: I know that she is good and strong and deserves all the love this world has to give. Can’t you see that, how wonderful, how special she is?
2. Don Pedro Aragon: Newlyweds. What else do they do but make love and war?
3. Paul Sutton: She’s like the air to me.

2. Alberto Aragon: Just because I talk with an accent doesn’t mean I think with an accent.
3. Guadalupe Aragon: You must see it through. Your fate. What brought you here.
4. Alberto Aragon: My daughter can trace her roots back 400 years to the best families in Mexico.

—————————————- Excerpt from Wikipedia: André Paul Guillaume Gide (22 November 1869 – 19 February 1951) was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1947. Gide’s career ranged from its beginnings in the symbolist movement, to the advent of anti-colonialism between the two World Wars.
Known for his fiction as well as his autobiographical works, Gide exposes to public view the conflict and eventual reconciliation between the two sides of his personality, split apart by a straight-laced education and a narrow social moralism. Gide’s work can be seen as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints, and gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty. His self-exploratory texts reflect his search of how to be fully oneself, even to the point of owning one’s sexual nature, without at the same time betraying one’s values. His political activity is informed by the same ethos, as suggested by his repudiation of communism after his 1936 voyage to the USSR.
1. A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.
2. Art begins with resistance – at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.
3. Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
4. Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
5. Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.
6. Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.
7. Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.
8. God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
9. I owe much to my friends; but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress.
10. It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves – in finding themselves.
11. Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
12. One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
13. Sin is whatever obscures the soul.
14. Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow’s joy is possible only if today’s makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.
15. To know how to free oneself is nothing; the arduous thing is to know what to do with one’s freedom.
16. It is now, and in this world, that we must live.
17. He who makes great demands upon himself is naturally inclined to make great demands upon others.
18. The most decisive actions of our life – I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future – are, more often than not, unconsidered.
1. Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
2. We bury love; Forgetfulness grows over it like grass: That is a thing to weep for, not the dead.

10. I go into my library and all history unrolls before me.
11. I would rather be remembered by a song than by a victory.
12. If the egotist is weak, his egotism is worthless. If the egotist is strong, acute, full of distinctive character, his egotism is precious, and remains a possession of the race.
13. If you do your fair day’s work, you are certain to get your fair day’s wage – in praise or pudding, whichever happens to suit your taste.
14. To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for.
15. There is no ghost so difficult to lay as the ghost of an injury.

1. Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking for each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.

——————————————————– Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States. He successfully led the country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. As the war was drawing to a close, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated.
Before his election in 1860 as the first Republican president, Lincoln had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the U.S. Senate. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year.
He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which passed Congress before Lincoln’s death and was ratified by the states later in 1865. Lincoln closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate.
Lincoln successfully defused the Trent affair, a war scare with Britain, in 1861. Under his leadership, the Union took control of the border slave states at the start of the war.
Additionally, he managed his own reelection in the 1864 presidential election. Copperheads and other opponents of the war criticized Lincoln for refusing to compromise on the slavery issue. Conversely, the Radical Republicans, an abolitionist faction of the Republican Party, criticized him for moving too slowly in abolishing slavery. Even with these road blocks, Lincoln successfully rallied public opinion through his rhetoric and speeches; his Gettysburg Address is but one example of this.
At the close of the war, Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to speedily reunite the nation through a policy of generous reconciliation. His successor in the White House, Andrew Johnson, also wanted reconciliation among white Americans, but failed to protect the rights of newly freed slaves. Lincoln’s assassination in 1865 was the first presidential assassination in American history. He has since consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents. (more detailed reading of Abraham Lincoln at Wikipedia)
2. Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose – and you allow him to make war at pleasure.
3. Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
4. As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
5. Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
6. Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
7. Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.
8. Don’t worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.
9. Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
10. I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
11. I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.
12. I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
13. If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.
14. If you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you surely will.
15. In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
16. My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
17. Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.
18. People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.
19. When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.
1. To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart, And to sing it to them when they have forgotten.
—————————————————- Excerpt from Wikipedia: Arne Garborg, born Aadne Eivindsson Garborg (25 January 1851 – 14 January 1924) was a Norwegian writer.
Garborg championed the use of Landsmål (now known as Nynorsk, or New Norwegian), as a literary language; he translated the Odyssey into it. He founded the weekly Fedraheim in 1877, in which he urged reforms in many spheres including political, social, religious, agrarian, and linguistic. He was married to Hulda Garborg.
It is said that for money you can have everything, but you cannot. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; knowledge, but not wisdom; glitter, but not beauty; fun, but not joy; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; leisure, but not peace. You can have the husk of everything, but not the kernel.
Famous Love Quotes and Love Sayings from Arthur Guiterman
1. The porcupine, which one must handle gloved, may be respected, but is never loved.
—————————————- Excerpt from Wikipedia: Arthur Guiterman (pronounced /ˈɡɪtərmən/; November 20, 1871 – January 11, 1943) was an American writer best known for his humorous poems.
Guiterman was born of American parents in Vienna, graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1891, and was married in 1909 to Vida Lindo. He was an editor of the Woman’s Home Companion and the Literary Digest. In 1910, he co-founded the Poetry Society of America, and later served as its president in 1925-26.
An example of his humor is a poem that talks about modern progress, with rhyming couplets such as “First dentistry was painless;/Then bicycles were chainless”. It ends on a more telling note:
“Now motor roads are dustless,
The latest steel is rustless,
Our tennis courts are sodless,
Our new religions, godless.”
Another Guiterman poem, “On the Vanity of Earthly Greatness“, illustrates the philosophy also incorporated into his humorous rhymes:
“The tusks which clashed in mighty brawls
Of mastodons, are billiard balls.
The sword of Charlemagne the Just
Is Ferric Oxide, known as rust.
The grizzly bear, whose potent hug,
Was feared by all, is now a rug.
Great Caesar’s bust is on the shelf,
And I don’t feel so well myself.”
1. The art of love … is largely the art of persistence.
2. Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they’re alive and human.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Albert Ellis (September 27, 1913 – July 24, 2007) was an American psychologist who in 1955 developed rational emotive behavior therapy. He held M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in clinical psychology from Columbia University and founded and was the president and president emeritus of the New York City-based Albert Ellis Institute. He is generally considered to be one of the originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in psychotherapy and the founder of cognitive-behavioral therapies. Based on a 1982 professional survey of U.S. and Canadian psychologists, he was considered as the second most influential psychotherapist in history (Carl Rogers ranked first in the survey; Sigmund Freud was ranked third).
1. As a result of my philosophy, I wasn’t even upset about Hitler. I was willing to go to war to knock him off, but I didn’t hate him. I hated what he was doing.
2. By not caring too much about what people think, I’m able to think for myself and propagate ideas which are very often unpopular. And I succeed.
3. I get people to truly accept themselves unconditionally, whether or not their therapist or anyone loves them.
4. I had a great many sex and love cases where people were absolutely devastated when somebody with whom they were compulsively in love didn’t love them back. They were killing themselves with anxiety and depression.
5. I think the future of psychotherapy and psychology is in the school system. We need to teach every child how to rarely seriously disturb himself or herself and how to overcome disturbance when it occurs.
6. Let’s suppose somebody abused you sexually. You still had a choice, though not a good one, about what to tell yourself about the abuse.
7. People don’t just get upset. They contribute to their upsetness.
8. People got insights into what was bothering them, but they hardly did a damn thing to change.
9. The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
10. There’s no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational.
11. We teach people that they upset themselves. We can’t change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.
12. You largely constructed your depression. It wasn’t given to you. Therefore, you can deconstruct it.
