Great Quotations
- Jack London on the advantages of not being a cabbage

Author's Name Edith Wharton He was growing old, and beginning to need rest and an imperturbed spirit. He did not want the secrets of other lives thrust upon him. - Edith Wharton on Weddings
Author's Name Edith Wharton She says a wedding is one of the most lamentable spectacles on earth. Nice thing for a woman to say to her husband! - James Tiptree, Jr., (Alice B. Sheldon)
Anyone who shoots a real gun at you when drunk and angry is simply not husband material, regardless of his taste in literature.
- Truman Capote
Any love is natural and beautiful that lies within a person's nature; only hypocrites would hold a man responsible for what he loves.
- Jack London
"The advantage of the animal over the vegetable kingdom is obvious. The cabbage, should its environment tend to become worse, must live it out, or die; the rabbit may move on in quest of a better."
- Donald Westlake
"A gun is so clean, so impersonal. It separates you, just a bit, from the event."
- John Gregory Dunne
"Being as rich as my father had made me allowed me to nourish a small talent for irony, irony being the vehicle by which the essentially second rate arrive at some kind of superiority."
- G.K. Chesterton
"If we boast of our best, we must repent of our worst. Otherwise patriotism will be a very poor thing indeed."
- Jorge Luis Borges
