Nice to discourage investigation...

Some of my faves are from Dorothy Parker :
If all the girls who attended Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B (said about Katherine Hepurn)
Take care of the luxuries and the necesseties will take care of themselves.
And my fave:
You can take a whore to culture but you can't make her think.

I can't remember the exact quotation but it goes along the lines..
"Wars are not determined by those that are right, but by those that are left".
And slightly more cheery
"A Puritan is someone who is deathly afraid that someone, somewhere, is
having fun. "

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
It is impossible to love and to be wise.
Francis Bacon
Particularily poinient...
Ambrose Bierce:
Love: a temporary insanity, curable by marriage.
