A Quote by Bernie Siegel

The only thing that shocks me is public interest in people who shouldn't be interesting at all, like Jade Goody.

Now your celebrities don't have to do anything, they're just voted in. And that shocks me.

Marco Pirroni

Robert Hass

I'm honestly very shy and quiet and to myself. Not that too much shocks me anymore.

Divine

A miracle entails a degree of irrationality-not because it shocks reason, but because it makes no appeal to it.

Emmanuel Levinas

You do care a little for me, I know... but nothing to speak of, and you don't love me. I was yours once till death if you'd cared to keep me, but I'm someone else's now... and he's mine in a way that shocks you, but why don't you stop being shocked, and attend to your own happiness.
