'If you believe, you can achieve' - that's my motto!

The 'democracy gap' in our politics and elections spells a deep sense of powerlessness by people who drop out, do not vote, or listlessly vote for the 'least worst' every four years and then wonder why after every cycle the 'least worst' gets worse.

Ralph Nader

People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.

Eric Hoffer

I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them.

Frederik Pohl

But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.

Edward Gibbon

Well, we must wait for the future to show.

Virginia Woolf

Science is based on the possibility of objectivity, on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility, there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories.

Jose Padilha

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

William Blake

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.

Ludwig van Beethoven

I too must attempt a way by which I can raise myself above the ground, and soar triumphant through the lips of men.

Virgil

The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It's astounding. Maybe they can't see or they can't hear, but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They're models of courage, in a strange way.

James Hillman

I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.

Diane Arbus

Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues can poison truth.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
