It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
There is no patriotic art and no patriotic science
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.
Martina Hingis
An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.
Albert Einstein
If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult, at best, and all but unlivable at worst, or possibly even unlivable, do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility, then it's a lie.
Tony Kushner
There is an innocence in admiration: it occurs in one who has not yet realized that they might one day be admired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I think that in itself is kind of an amazing achievement to be able to say that your full-time career is in any creative arts, let alone a show that has kept people interested for coming on four seasons and hopefully more.
Anna Paquin
How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.
Karl Kraus
Even Morgan seems to me to be based on some hidden rock. Talking of Proust and Lawrence he said he'd prefer to be Lawrence; but much rather would be himself. He is aloof, serene, a snob, he says, reading masterpieces only.
Virginia Woolf
I've been speaking at churches for years, as well as juvenile jails, rehabs and hospitals, and I always talk about my faith. That is a declaration of my relationship with God.
Smokey Robinson
Sometimes it is hard not to say, 'God forgive God.' Sometimes it is hard to say so much. But if our faith is true, He didn't. He crucified Him.
C.S. Lewis
I suppose I was a little bit of what would be called today a nerd. I didn't have girlfriends, and really I wasn't a very social boy.
Charles Kuralt
Therefore we Christians, in turn, are obliged not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy
Martin Luther King Jr.
Like all parents, my husband and I just do the best we can, hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.
Michelle Pfeiffer
You seemed to be listening to me, not to find out useful information, but to try to catch me in a logical fallacy. This tells us all that you are used to being smarter than your teachers, and that you listen to them in order to catch them making mistakes and prove how smart you are to the other students. This is such a pointless, stupid way of listening to teachers that it is clear you are going to waste months of our time before you finally catch on that the only transaction that matters is a transfer of useful information from adults who possess it to children who do not, and that catching mistakes is a criminal misuse of time.
Orson Scott Card
Punctuality is the thief of time
Oscar Wilde
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
Kate Millett
Every man of ambition has to fight his century with its own weapons. What this century worships is wealth. The God of this century is wealth. To succeed one must have wealth. At all costs one must have wealth.
In my book I specifically discussed the structural nature of injustice and offered Nine Touchstones of Goddess ethics as an alternative to the Ten Commandments of Biblical religion.
Carol P. Christ
[D]on't ever apologize to an author for buying something in paperback, or taking it out from a library (that's what they're there for. Use your library). Don't apologize to this author for buying books second hand, or getting them from bookcrossing or borrowing a friend's copy. What's important to me is that people read the books and enjoy them, and that, at some point in there, the book was bought by someone. And that people who like things, tell other people. The most important thing is that people read...
Neil Gaiman
I wish...I wish were dead...And what use would that be to anyone?
J.K. Rowling
The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
Peter Drucker
I hope no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night; but if you have been - if you've been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you - you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again.
Mother's arms are made of tenderness, and sweet sleep blesses the child who lies within.
Victor Hugo
When heaven breaks, who fixes it?
Jodi Picoult
Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s.
Clifford Stoll
I put my air conditioner in backwards. It got cold outside. The weatherman on TV was confused. It was supposed to be hot today.
Steven Wright
In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.
Jimmy Carter
My passion for gardening may strike some as selfish, or merely an act of resignation in the face of overwhelming problems that beset the world. It is neither. I have found that each garden is just what Voltaire proposed in Candide: a microcosm of a just and beautiful society.
Andrew Weil
Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams, Unloose the cord, and they will wrap you round.
William Butler Yeats
The key to successful missionary work is a close relationship between the missionaries and the members. Creating an environment in working with members that will bring more into the Church.
Richard G. Scott
How could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads?
Plato
Health and education are always issues.
Helen Clark
Even though I'm retired for some years now I still have something positive to say to kids. And they still listen.
Stephen Baker
Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.
Henry David Thoreau
Today I am even richer.
Stephen Richards
I have supposed the black man, in his present state, might not be in body and mind equal to the white man; but it would be hazardous to affirm that, equally cultivated for a few generations, he would not become so
Thomas Jefferson
I Worked in the family auto body shop, lifted weights, and rode a few Victory Sports Indoors.
Ben Jackson
Men are disposed to live honestly, if the means of doing so are open to them.
Someday stars will wind down or blow up. Someday death will cover us all like the water of a lake and perhaps nothing will ever come to the surface to show that we were ever there. But we WERE there, and during the time we lived, we were alive. That's the truth - what is, what was, what will be - not what could be, what should have been, what never can be.
Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.
Mike Tyson
