He who knows nothing loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees. The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love.

Paracelsus

I love my husband, but it is nothing like a conversation with a woman that understands you. I grow so much from those conversations.

Beyonce Knowles

Innocence is thought charming because it offers delightful possibilities for exploitation.

Mason Cooley

Quinn Cummings is a master story-teller and her book is nothing short of delightful. Her insights into topics like celebrity, parenting, and cats with a taste for homicide are pithy and uproarious and not to be missed. Notes from the Underwire is charming, hilarious, and just snarky enough to be ultimately satisfying.

Jen Lancaster

He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless.

Paracelsus

The truth is that the only time I'm happy is when I'm doing absolutely nothing. I don't understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feel like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

Ava Gardner

Now I can tell you something dirty. I like men who have a foot fetish. I absolutely think it's the most charming thing. It's just so romantic.

I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life. We are not sent into the world to air our moral prejudices. I never take any notice of what common people say, and I never interfere with what charming people do. If a personality fascinates me, whatever mode of expression that personality selects is absolutely delightful to me.

Oscar Wilde

'The Conversation' is one that, if you watch 'The Conversation' for the opening sequence, where you hear a conversation taking place as the master - this zoom from way up is zooming in over a park. And I was just absolutely blown away by it because you can hear exactly what's happening, but you don't see. You've got no idea who's talking.

Colin O'Donoghue

It is delightful some times to sit with an ingenious friend, He understands you before you having said anything.

Muhammad Atta-ullah Faizani

There is nothing so delightful as the hearing, or the speaking of truth. For this reason, there is no conversation so agreeable as that of the man of integrity, who hears without any intention to betray, and speaks without any intention to deceive.

Plato

I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside of their special subject.

C. S. Lewis

Wherever learning breeds specialists, the sum of human culture is enhanced thereby. That is the illusion and consolation of specialists.

Antonio Machado

The American woman is a charming creature. She is of a type most unusual and delightful... And their feet and ankles are the most perfect in the world.

Jean Patou

It's absolutely delightful to get dressed up for a lovely evening, but when it goes from being a fun thing to being a chore, and a chore that men don't have to do, then we need to think about it differently.
