| Quote:What IS your fascination with my forbidden closet of mysteries?[Chief Wiggum] Quote:Back in the old days, most families were close-knit. Grown children and their parents continued to live together, under the same roof, sometimes in the same small, crowded room, year in and year out, until they died, frequently by strangulation.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.[Mark Twain] Quote:The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.[Yogi Berra] Quote:Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Beware the writer who always encloses the word reality in quotation marks: He's trying to slip something over on you. Or into you.[Edward Abbey] Quote:To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.[George Burns] Quote:If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru' narrow chinks of his cavern.[William Blake] Quote:The two most beautiful words in the English language are 'check enclosed.'[Dorothy Parker] Quote:In a friend one should have ones best enemy. You should be closest to him with your heart when you resist him.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. [Georg Christoph Lichtenberg] Quote:Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:To listen closely and reply well is the highest perfection we are able to attain in the art of conversation. [Francois de La Rochefoucauld] Quote:If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before. [Mitchell Burgess] Quote:Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city. [George Burns] Quote:When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing? [Epictetus] Quote:I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief. [Gerry Spence] Quote:People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in. [Margaret Cho] Quote:The farther behind I leave the past, the closer I am to forging my own character. [Lyndon B. Johnson] Quote:You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
