I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will but I'd rather have a complicated misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.

Few things are impracticable in themselves and it is for want of application rather than of means that men fail to succeed.

It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends.

What affects men sharply about a foreign nation is not so much finding or not finding familiar things it is rather not finding them in the familiar place.

I do not consider it an insult but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means.

Men seldom or rather never for a length of time and deliberately rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.

The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.

Mind you I've always been a very off-message type of fat broad one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise.

I believe it should be possible for someone stricken with a serious and ultimately fatal illness to choose to die peacefully with medical help rather than suffer.

I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I'd get bored! As I get older I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want - take it or leave it.'

I love marriage. I failed at marriage but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed.

I also think it was important for me and Freddie to be able to have a lot of time to share our lives at the beginning of our marriage rather than my coming home at 9 or 10 at night from the set. Things have really worked out for the best for both of us.

When we ask for love we don't ask others to be fair to us-but rather to care for us to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice... and begging or pleading for love.

It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us but not impossible that it may respect or sympathize so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face.

May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man rather than the applause of thousands of people.

Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Rather than love than money than fame give me truth.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

For the meaning of life differs from man to man from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters therefore is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.

We only live once but once is enough if we do it right. Live your life with class dignity and style so that an exclamation rather than a question mark signifies it!

I have so much chaos in my life it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax calm down take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong.

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

I have spent many years of my life in opposition and I rather like the role.
