At two-tenths the speed of light, dust and atoms might not do significant damage even in a voyage of 40 years, but the faster you go, the worse it is--space begins to become abrasive. When you begin to approach the speed of light, hydrogen atoms become cosmic-ray particles, and they will fry the crew. ...So 60,000 kilometers per second may be the practical speed limit for space travel.
Isaac Asimov

Blake Lively
I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the Tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at Amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as I ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, Well! give me peace in my day. Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.
Thomas Paine, The American Crisi

For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject, but man only.
Thomas Hobbes
I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark.
Nobody really believes in equality anyway.
Warren Farrell
Sudden glory is the passion which makes those grimaces called laughter.
I did my famous cabbage soup diet, so I was able to do it.
Ellen Burstyn
Leisure is the mother of Philosophy.
He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.
For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect.
The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, profane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame or blame.
You get more churches burned down in the United States in the last two years than in the last hundred, because of the lack of understanding of culture and diversity and the beauty of it.
Edward James Olmos
Usually when I see someone famous, for some reason, I think I know them.
Leona Lewis
The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.
Prudence is but experience, which equal time, equally bestows on all men, in those things they equally apply themselves unto.

Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.
Eric Hoffer
Old age equalizes -- we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.
I was entirely natural and in many ways I have the same attitude now. I don't mourn the loss of my youth because I believe you should enjoy what you have while you have it.
Koo Stark
The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
The world leans on us. When we sag, the whole world seems to droop.
I come from a profession which has suffered greatly because of the lack of civility. Lawyers treat each other poorly and it has come home to haunt them. The public will not tolerate a lack of civility.
