Nathaniel Hawthorne

Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world.

Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Tiffanie DeBartolo, Dream for an Insomniac

Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them.

Carl Jung

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Anne Bradstreet

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Alan Perlis

Computers don't introduce order anywhere as much as they expose opportunities.

John Cusack as Eddie Thomas, America's Sweethearts

I'm a paranoid schizophrenic, I am my own entourage.

Pascal, Pensées

The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know.

Jennifer Gray as Baby, Dirty Dancing

…and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I'm with you!

Alan Perlis

The best book on programming for the layman is Alice in Wonderland; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Billy Crystal as Harry Burns, When Harry Met Sally

I love that you are the last person that I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night.

Emily Dickenson

To lose thee- sweeter than to gain
All other hearts I knew
Tis true- the drought is destitute-
But then, I had the dew!

Fred Rogers

Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

The course of true love never did run smooth.
