Jane Austen
“And such is your definition of matrimony and dancing. Taken in that light, certainly their resemblance is not striking; but I think I could place them in such a view. You will allow that in both man has the advantage of choice, woman only the power of refusal; that in both it is an engagement between man and woman, formed for the advantage of each; and that when once entered into, they belong exclusively to each other till the moment of its dissolution; that it is their duty each to endeavor to give the other no cause for wishing that he or she had bestowed themselves elsewhere, and their best interest to keep their own imaginations from wandering towards the perfections of their neighbors, or fancying that they should have been better off with any one else.”
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

Oscar Wilde
“The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.”
Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband

Robert Louis Stevenson
“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.”
Robert Louis Stevenson

Albert Einstein
“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”
Albert Einstein

“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”
Gwyneth Paltrow
