Here is the first one.

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
Anais Nin
 
"Those that restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained"

Wlm Blake
 
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell
 
"For believe me: the secret for harvesting the greatest fruitfulness and greatest enjoyments is - to live dangerously. "

Friedrich Nietzsche
 
'You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; shit happens.'

"And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful then the risk it took to bloom"

Anais Nin
 
"Not everyone is lucky enough to understand how delicious it is to suffer."

-- Katherine Hepburn
 
Passion, like a flame, entices one with its warm and repel the next with its burn.
 
Buttercup: You killed my love.

Man in Black: It's possible; I kill a lot of people. Who was this love of yours? Another Prince, like this one, ugly, rich, and scabby?

Buttercup: No. A farm boy. Poor. Poor and perfect, with eyes like the sea after a storm. On the high seas, your ship attacked, and the Dread Pirate Roberts never takes prisoners.

Man in Black: I can't afford to make exceptions. Once word leaks out that a pirate has gone soft, people begin to disobey you, and then it's nothing but work, work, work, all the time.

Buttercup: You mock my pain.

Man in Black: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
 
"The most beautiful makeup for a woman is passion" is the famous quotation of the designer Yves Saint Laurent. "But cosmetics are easier to buy."
 
"But, explained Cathoris, "this is not real food -- it was not here an instant ago, and real food does not materialize out of thin air."

Jav looked hurt.

"There is no real food or water in Lothar," he said. "Nor has there been for countless ages. Upon such as you see before you, we have existed since the dawn of history. Upon such, then, you may exist."

"But I thought you were a realist," exclaimed Cathoris.

"Indeed," cried Jav, "what is more realistic than this bounteous feast? It is just here that we differ most from the etherealists. They claim that it is unneccesary to imagine eating food; but we have found that for the maintenance of life, we must thrice daily imagine sitting down to hearty meals."

-- Edgar Rice Burroughs, "Thuvia, Maid of Mars"
