Words that outlived
the people who said them

“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”

“Oh well, I'd just been thinking: if you had died, you'd have been welcome to share my toilet.”

“Knock, and He'll open the door.”

“And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter; they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small, cramped dark inside you so long.”

“It's probably not just by chance that I'm alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me unless he's terribly strong, and if he's stronger than I am, I'm the one who can't live with him. I'm neither smart nor stupid, but I don't think I'm a run-of-the-mill person. I've been in business without being a businesswoman, I've loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I loved will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I've done my best in regard to people and to life, without precepts but with a taste for justice.”

“To be, or not to be: that is the question.”
