Although I'm a business major out of McGill University, I know nothing... but then I found out much later in life, nobody knows anything.
Truth is contained in the preconceptions of him who seeks to define it. Any organization of ideas whatever presupposes a judgment on the world.
Jack Vance
Visit us again, Savior. Your children, burdened with disbelief, blinded by a patina of wisdom, carom down this vale of fear. We cry for you although we have lost your name.
Maya Angelou
Why is man obliged to learn ignorance?
Sorin Cerin
For every moment I smile, I've endured a thousand frowns
Brian A. Brown
The truth of the matter is, you lose a parent to murder when you're 10 years old, and in fact at the time of the murder you hate your lost parent, my mother in my case.
James Ellroy
Sound, jocund strains; on pipe and viol sound, Young voices sing; Wreathe every door with snow-white voices round, For lo! 't is Spring! Winter has passed with its sad funeral train, And Love revives again.
Lewis Morris (poet)
The only people who can change the world are people who want to. And not everybody does.
Hugh MacLeod
The greatest help oft comes in harm's disguise, to those with trusting hearts and open eyes.
William D. Burt
President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.
Newt Gingrich
Science is the most exciting and sustained enterprise of discovery in the history of our species. It is the great adventure of our time. We live today in an era of discovery that far outshadows the discoveries of the New World five hundred years ago.
Michael Crichton
The finest and noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on which nothing is assumed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word; but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language--not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.
Friedrich Durrenmatt
But now with technology I could sit down and do a bunch of character drawings and scan them into a computer, and the computer using my exact style could bring it into life, where it would have been edited by various human beings before.
Bill Griffith
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.
Isaac Asimov
I'm inspired by history, different periods.
Adam Lambert
Virtues are in the popular estimate rather the exception than the rule.
Influenced by him, and probably even more so by my brother Theodore (a year older than me), I soon became interested in biology and developed a respect for the importance of science and the scientific method.
Frederick Sanger
They are all but stomachs, and we all but food; They eat us hungerly, and when they are full, They belch us
William Shakespeare
I am convinced the most unfortunate people are those who would make an art of love. It sours other effort. Of all artists, they are certainly the most wretched.
Norman Mailer
In fact we put so many things in our mouths we constantly have to be reminded what not to eat. Look at that little package of silicon gel that's inside your sneakers. It says DO NOT EAT for a reason. Somewhere sometime some genius bought a pair of sneakers and said Ooooh look. They give you free mints with the shoes
Morgan Spurlock
The only way you can rise above your troubles is too force your mind...to stay in the present moment. The pass will haunt you
Timothy Pina
Life is only precious because it ends, kid. Take it from a god. You mortals don't know how lucky you are
Rick Riordan
In this single galaxy of ours there are eighty-seven thousand million suns. [...] In challenging it, you would be like ants attempting to label and classify all the grains of sand in all the deserts of the world. [...] It is a bitter thought, but you must face it. The planets you may one day possess. But the stars are not for man.
Arthur C. Clarke
Science is a bit like the joke about the drunk who is looking under a lamppost for a key that he has lost on the other side of the street, because that's where the light is. It has no other choice.
Noam Chomsky
I can't tell if a straw ever saved a drowning man, but I know that a mere glance is enough to make despair pause. For in truth we who are creatures of impulse are not creatures of despair.
Joseph Conrad
It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.
Bill Hybels
Mothers, of course, are all right. They pay a chap's bills and don't bother him. But fathers bother a chap and never pay his bills.
Oscar Wilde
In seven days God had created the Earth. In a single day mankind had turned it upside down.
Kristina McMorris
We never know the quality of someone else's life, though we seldom resist the temptation to assume and pass judgement.
Tami Hoag
Your mind is just like a parachute ! if you don't open it, it won't work !
Tom Evans
I have told the story I was asked to tell. I have closed it, as so many stories close, with a joining of two people. What is one man's and one woman's love and desire, against the history of two worlds, the great revolutions of our lifetimes, the hope, the unending cruelty of our species? A little thing. But a key is a little thing, next to the door it opens. If you lose the key, the door may never be unlocked. It is in our bodies that we lose or begin our freedom, in our bodies that we accept or end our slavery. So I wrote this book for my friend, with whom I have lived and will die free.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It all comes down to who's by your side.
Nicholas Sparks
I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We think you'll find that every woman in her heart of hearts longs for three things: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. That's what makes a woman come alive.
John Eldredge
Life is our dictionary.
If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin.
Katharine Butler Hathaway
Many people could say things in a cutting way, Nanny knew. But Granny Weatherwax could in a cutting way. She could make something sound stupid just by hearing it.
Terry Pratchett
I must confess that most modern mysticism seems to me to be simply a method of imparting useless knowledge in a form that no one can understand
If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck
Albert Einstein
