I work in a library, and for some reason I spent my lunch with ye olde booke of quotes. Some I liked:


William Cowper - "He has no hope who never had a fear."
James Stephens - "Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will."

Jane Austen - "I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal."
William Somerset Maughan - "I've always been interested in people, but I've never liked them."

Erica Jong - "Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't."

Dag Hammarskjold - "Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for."  (J'onn. Right there.)
Elbert Hubbard - "Loneliness is to endure the presence of one who does not understand."

William Blake - "A truth thats told with bad intent
                             Beats all the Lies you can invent."
