“I like flowers, I also like children, but I do not chop their heads and keep them in bowls of water around the house.”
George Bernard Shaw
“Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.”
Oscar Wilde
“I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.”
Benjamin Franklin
“He that prefers the beautiful to the useful in life will, undoubtedly, like children who prefer sweetmeats to bread, destroy his digestion and acquire a very fretful outlook on the world.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I don't like principles. I prefer prejudices.”
“I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.”
“I would much prefer to suffer from the clean incision of an honest lancet than from a sweetened poison”
Mark Twain
