"Uneori ma intreb daca femeile si barbatii se potrivesc cu adevarat unii altora. Poate ca ar trebui sa fie doar vecini si sa se viziteze din cand in cand." Katherine Hepburn

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff. -- Carl Sagan

"Ros de morbul popularității, premierul Ponta pare capabil să intre și-n curul unui elefant, dacă ar ști că la ieșire va fi aplaudat de oxiuri." Mircea Dinescu

“ Seva vieții mele urcă din modelele pe care le-am avut, din faptul că trei sferturi din viață am băut apă din fântână, din pământ, iar nu din țeavă, că am mâncat pâine și mămăligă făcute de bunica și de mama mea, că am băut lapte de la vaca din grajd și că am mâncat mere abia culese din pom.  Seva vine din faptul că am întâlnit oameni care au trăit meditând, încercând, nu spunând.  Mai cădeau în genunchi, se mai rostogoleau, dar se ridicau. Erau oameni. Și mai vine din imensul noroc pe care mi l-a dat Dumnezeu: am primit o nevastă minunată, o adevărată forță, și un băiat absolut normal, un om.  Și mai vine seva și din faptul că eu cred în povești cu îngeri și cred în Dumnezeu. Nu-s multe. Le poți strânge într-o batistă" 

Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Am niste copii superbi. Slava domnului ca m-a inselat nevasta-mea... Pina la noaptea nuntii, nevasta-mea se temea de intuneric. Dupa asta m-a vazut pe mine gol si de atunci se teme si pe lumina... Nevasta mea este cea mai neispravita bucatareasa. Noi ne spunem rugaciunea intotdeauna dupa cina... Odata cineva ne-a furat masina. Mi-am intrebat nevasta daca a vazut cumva cum aratau hotii. Mi-a raspuns ca nu, dar a notat numarul masinii... Intr-o zi, mi-am sunat sotia si i-am declarat: Draga mea, ma gindeam la tine si m-a lovit brusc o pofta nebuna de amor. La care ea a intrebat: Dar cine-i la telefon? I-am spus dentistului meu ca mi s-au ingalbenit dintii. Sfatul lui a fost sa-i asortez cu o cravata maro... Azi e o zi absolut nefasta. M-am sculat de dimineata, am luat camasa si i s-au rupt doi nasturi. Am pus mina pe servieta - i s-a rupt minerul. Acum ma tem sa mai merg la WC... I-am spus psihiatrului meu ca sint trist, intrucit pe mine toata lumea ma detesta. Mi-a raspuns...

A throne is only a bench covered with velvet. A true man hates no one. All religions have been made by men. An army marches on its stomach. Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools. It requires more courage to suffer than to die. Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues. Public opinion is the thermometer a monarch should constantly consult.   In politics stupidity is not a handicap There are only two forces that unite men - fear and interest.     We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.   more on :  http://www.brainyquote.com/

“He had delusions of adequacy.” - Walter Kerr “He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.” - Winston Churchill “I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.” - Clarence Darrow “He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary.” - William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway) “Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?” - Ernest Hemingway (about William Faulkner) “Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I’ll waste no time reading it.” - Moses Hadas “I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.” - Mark Twain “He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends..” - Oscar Wilde “I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend… if you have one.” - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill “Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second… if there is one.” - Winston Churchill, in r...

"I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy." --Tom Clancy "You know "that look" women get when they want sex? Me neither." --Steve Martin "Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand." --Woody Allen "Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night." --Rodney Dangerfield "There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL." --Lynn Lavner "Leaving sex to the feminists is like letting your dog vacation at the taxidermist." --Matt Barry "Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope." --George Burns "Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation. The other e eight are unimportant." --George Burns "Women might be able to fake orgasms. ...

It takes a long time to become young. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it? Bad artists copy. Good artists steal. Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima. I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money. It takes a long time to become young. The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web. There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats. We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible. All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world. I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess. I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known. Laughter is America's most important export. You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway. You reach a point where you don't work for money. Walter Elias Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Disney is notable as one of the most influential ...

After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can't bring back anything to life. Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart. Be fair with others, but then keep after them until they're fair with you. If I can't get the girl, at least give me more money. Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory. When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. Alan Alda (b. January 28, 1936) is an Emmy Award-winning, Academy Award-nominated American actor. He is perhaps most famous for his role as Hawkeye Pierce in th...

There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world. Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better. America is a young country with an old mentality. Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavor to understand him. Character is the basis of happiness and happiness the sanction of character. The wisest mind has something yet to learn. Nothing is really so poor and melancholy as art that is interested in itself and not in its subject. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Intolerance itself is a form of egoism, and to condemn egoism intolerantly is to share it. George Santayana (December 16, 1863, Madrid – September 26, 1952, Rome), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. A lifelong Spanish citizen, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States, invariably wrote in E...

Un prieten este un dar pe care ti-l faci singur. To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer; to forget oneself is to be happy. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral. Every man is his own doctor of divinity, in the last resort. Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson (November 13, 1850–December 3, 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins", as G. K. Chesterton put it. He was also greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov. [1] Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recent...

The essence of pleasure is spontaneity. Freud is the father of psychoanalysis. It has no mother. Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release. Mother is the dead heart of the family, spending father's earnings on consumer goods to enhance the environment in which he eats, sleeps, and watches television. Germaine Greer (born January 29, 1939) is an Australian-born writer, broadcaster and retired academic, widely regarded as one of the most significant feminist voices of the 20th century. Greer's ideas have created controversy ever since her ground-breaking The Female Eunuch became an international bestseller in 1970, turning her overnight into a household name and bringing her both adulation and criticism. She is also the author of Sex and Destiny: The Politics of Human Fertility (1984); and The Change: Women, Ageing and the Menopause (1991). Belinda Luscombe in Time Magazine called Greer ...
