1 " Many women think that if they put out too quickly, their partner won't respect them. This is not the case. It's not about waiting for a certain quantity of time before having sex, it's about waiting for a certain quality of connection. "
― Neil Strauss , The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships
2 " There is a certain quality to words that when strung in a certain way--has an almost hypnotic effect. "

3 " I asked her what was so scary about unmerited free grace? She replied something like this: " If I was saved by my good works -- then there would be a limit to what God could ask of me or put me through. I would be like a taxpayer with rights.

But if it is really true that I am a sinner saved by sheer grace -- at God's infinite cost -- then there's nothing he cannot ask of me. "

5 " Rabbits (says Mr. Lockley) are like human beings in many ways. One of these is certainly their staunch ability to withstand disaster and to let the stream of their life carry them along, past reaches of terror and loss. They have a certain quality which it would not be accurate to describe as callousness or indifference. It is, rather, a blessedly circumscribed imagination and an intuitive feeling that Life is Now. A foraging wild creature, intent above all upon survival, is as strong as the grass. "

6 " I think the only cardinal evil on earth is that of placing your prime concern within other men. I’ve always demanded a certain quality in the people I liked. I’ve always recognized it at once—and it’s the only quality I respect in men. I chose my friends by that...A self-sufficient ego. Nothing else matters. "
― Ayn Rand , The Fountainhead
7 " You have to realize I like doing big movies that appear on a big screen. So the visuals and the audio have to be of a certain quality before I start to get excited about the thing. "
