    Alfred Hitchcock
    “I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.”

    “It's not because I want to make out with her."

    “ما برهنه شدیم و آغـاز کردیم. میانِ من و تو وقتی برهنه نیستیم همه‌چیز ساکن است. وقتی برهنه آغـاز می‌کنیم، بعداً می‌توانیم پوشاننده‌ترین پوشاکمان را بپوشیم و مطمئن باشیم که جریان برقرار است و همه‌چیز ادامه دارد. دیگران دو اشکال دارند. آن‌ها پوشیده آغـاز می‌کنند، سال‌ها پوشیده ادامه می‌دهند، و همین که برهنه می‌شوند همه‌چیز تمام می‌شود. یا این که برهنه آغـاز می‌کنند، امّا آغـازی میانشان روی نمی‌دهد. آن وقت هر کس لباس خودش را می‌پوشد و هر کدام به راه خود می‌روند”

    “He'd always had a quickening of the heart when he crossed into Arizona and beheld the cactus country. This was as the desert should be, this was the desert of the picture books, with the land unrolled to the farthest distant horizon hills, with saguaro standing sentinel in their strange chessboard pattern, towering supinely above the fans of ocotillo and brushy mesquite.”

    Ronald Reagan
    “Someday, the realm of liberty and justice will encompass the planet. Freedom is not just the birthright of the few, it is the God-given right of all His children, in every country. It won't come by conquest. It will come, because freedom is right and freedom works. It will come, because cooperation and good will among free people will carry the day.”

    Charlotte Eriksson
    “There were days when I still put on make up
    in case you’d come back,
    but I wear the same clothes and shower in the rain
    and eat when I can and sleep when I can,
    which is rare and not often,
    so if you’d see me now
    on these streets
    where I once imagined walking with you
    you’d have a hard time recognising me.
    I takes a lot to run away.”

    Oscar Wilde
    “I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.”
