There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all. - William Somerset Maugham Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know. - Oscar Wilde Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught, The wise for cure on exercise depend; God never made his work for man to mend. - John Dryden Charm is more than beauty. - Anonymous Doctors think a lot of patients are cured who have simply quit in disgust. - Don Herold Fashion, which elevates the bad to the level of the good, subsequently turns its back on bad and good alike. - Eric Bently Glamour: The indefinable something about a girl with a big bosom. - Abe Burrows A hat should be taken off when you greet a lady and left off for the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat. - P.J.O'Rourke I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street. - Neil Armstrong I hate to see men overdressed a man ought to look like he's put together by accident, not added up on purpose. - Christopher Morley I have never known a person to live to be one hundred and be remarkable for anything else. - Josh Billings If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free. - P.J.O'Rourke If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. - William Morris I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want an adorable pancreas? - Jean Kerr In its early stages, insomnia is almost an oasis in which those who have to think or suffer darkly take refuge. - Sidonie Gabrielle Colette It is a good idea to 'shop around' before you settle on a doctor. Ask about the condition of his Mercedes. Ask about the competence of his mechanic. Don't be shy! After all, you're paying for it. - Dave Barry It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. - Leo Tolstoy It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness. - Cicero It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has. - William Osler It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core. - Phyllis Diller I've never been an intellectual but I have this look. - Woody Allen Nothing cures insomnia like the realization that it's time to get up. - Anonymous People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves. - Salma Hayek Polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold. - Lord Chesterfield She looks like the deluxe edition of a wicked French novel meant especially for the English market. - Oscar Wilde Show people tend to treat their finances like their dentistry. They assume the man handling it knows what he is doing. - Dick Cavett Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty should persist after the beauty was gone. - Aristotle Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful. - Victor Hugo Tell them dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being. - Ralph Waldo Emerson The art of Medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease. - Voltaire The fashion wears out more apparel than the man. - William Shakespeare The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. - William Osler The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness. - Arthur Schopenhauer The patient is not likely to recover who makes the doctor his heir. - Thomas Fuller The perception of beauty is a moral test. - Henry David Thoreau The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring. - Francis H. Bradley There is another advantage of being poor a doctor will cure you faster. - Kin Hubbard There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. - Francis Bacon There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward. - John Mortimer There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathize with the color, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better. - Oscar Wilde There's just something I don't like about him. I can't put my finger on it, but if I did, I'd have to wash it. - Golden Girls Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness. - Edward Stanley Very few people look the part and are it too. - Don Herold When it comes to staying young, a mind-lift beats a facelift any day. - Marty Bucella Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is to accept God's final word on where your lips end. - Jerry Seinfeld You can't blame me for looking like this on purpose. - Anna Kournikova Art/Movies/Music/Theatre/Criticism 2,400,000 Americans

  • Awakening: Stories
    AWAKENING: STORIES By Sarah Ellen Ireland Thomas P. Balázs Sybil Baker Professor of English Professor of English (Chair) (Member) Rebecca Cook Lecturer (Member) AWAKENING: STORIES By Sarah Ellen Ireland A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts: English The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga Tennessee March 2014 ii ABSTRACT My thesis, Awakening , is a collection of stories that follows a set of protagonists seeking to discover or solidify their identities amidst challenging environments. All three stories feature protagonists struggling to come to terms with some shifting aspect of their character. In “The Great Secret,” the main character must struggle to define a romantic connection to a new friend in a world where revealing one’s biological sex to the public is expressly forbidden. The protagonist of “Awakening” is must change her identity after she is ripped from her former life and taken on an unpredictable journey. In “Family Portrait,” the protagonist tries to form a new identity separate not only from her parents but from their beliefs and lifestyle as well. These three stories are preceded by a discussion of different techniques authors use to create empathy for characters that are likely to be unsympathetic for one reason or another. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………...iii CHAPTER I.

  • The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations.TXT
    The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations PREFACE Preface =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is a completely new dictionary, containing about 5,000 quotations. What is a "quotation"? It is a saying or piece of writing that strikes people as so true or memorable that they quote it (or allude to it) in speech or writing. Often they will quote it directly, introducing it with a phrase like "As ---- says" but equally often they will assume that the reader or listener already knows the quotation, and they will simply allude to it without mentioning its source (as in the headline "A ros‚ is a ros‚ is a ros‚," referring obliquely to a line by Gertrude Stein). This dictionary has been compiled from extensive evidence of the quotations that are actually used in this way. The dictionary includes the commonest quotations which were found in a collection of more than 200,000 citations assembled by combing books, magazines, and newspapers. For example, our collections contained more than thirty examples each for Edward Heath's "unacceptable face of capitalism" and Marshal McLuhan's "The medium is the message," so both these quotations had to be included. As a result, this book is not--like many quotations dictionaries--a subjective anthology of the editor's favourite quotations, but an objective selection of the quotations which are most widely known and used. Popularity and familiarity are the main criteria for inclusion, although no reader is likely to be familiar with all the quotations in this dictionary. The book can be used for reference or for browsing: to trace the source of a particular quotation or to find an appropriate saying for a special need.
