America preaches integration and practices segregation.

Man consists in Truth. If he exposes Truth, he exposes himself. If he betrays Truth, he betrays himself. We speak not here of lies, but of acting against Conviction.

Novalis

Everyone is like a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.

Mark Twain

There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.

William James

On a day of burial there is no perspective -- for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was -- to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.

Antoine De SaintExupery

We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.

Mona Caird

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.

Marcus Aurelius

I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud... that was pretty cool.

Eleanor Mondale

Write in recollection and amazement for yourself.

Jack Kerouac

It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed.

C.S. Lewis

I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.

Uma Thurman

It is respectable to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull.

Joseph Conrad

The leaves of the tree of life will serve for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:2), which means that there will be in the life beyond people who need a cure for their souls.

Richard Wurmbrand
