Drinking is a way of ending the day
I once laughed at the vanity of women of thirty or forty who whitened their ruddy old skin with lead, but now I know such salves are not disguises for old crones who wish to catch a young husband. Instead they are only a mask we wear so that we can, for a little while, still recognize ourselves.
Rebecca Johns
Pure and absolute truth can only be found beyond all its possible expressions; these expressions, as such, cannot claim the attributes of this truth, their relative remoteness from it is expressed by their differentiation and multiplicity, by which they are strictly limited.
Frithjof Schuon
After some cogitation, it is difficult not to agree with Herman Bondi (1919 - 2005), who in his book 'Relativity and Common Sense' says:... The surprising thing, surely, is that molecules in a gas behave so much as billiard balls, not that electrons behave so little like billiard balls.
Felix Alba-Juez
But by showing us live coverage of every bad thing happening everywhere in the world, cable news makes life seem like it's just an endless string of disasters - when, for most people in most places today, life is fairly good.
Gregg Easterbrook
Do you love yourself enough to be what you love yourself enough to want?
Steve Maraboli
Oh God, let me not be cured of love, but let my passion grow! Let me love for love's sake!
Diane Wolkstein
if we possess a why of life we can put up with almost any how.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Someday we'll find it. The Rainbow Connection. The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Jim Henson
Then must you speakOf one that loved not wisely but too well,Of one not easily jealous but, being wrought,Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,Like the base Indian, threw a pearl awayRicher than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes,Albeit unused to the melting mood,Drop tears as fast as the Arabian treesTheir medicinable gum. Set you down this,And say besides that in Aleppo once,Where a malignant and a turbaned TurkBeat a Venetian and traduced the state,I took by th' throat the circumcised dogAnd smote him thus.
William Shakespeare
Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.
Adriana Trigiani
After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed. I have always had to have an outlet for my creativity and when my life became more about raising my family than the bright lights of show business exploring my photo art was a great outlet for me.
Angela Cartwright
In this atmosphere of general discouragement, it is tempting to attack something that is sufficiently linked to the powers-that-be so as not to appear very sympathetic, but sufficiently weak to be a more-or-less accessible target (since the concentration of power and money are beyond reach). Science fulfills these conditions, and this partly explains the attacks against it.
Alan Sokal
In the current fashionable denigration of technology, it is easy to forget that nuclear fission is a natural process. If something as intricate as life can assemble by accident, we need not marvel at the fission reactor, a relatively simple contraption, doing likewise.
James Lovelock
To be able to live each day with honor, respect and dignity is the greatest achievement of all.
Roopleen
I would love to support Hillary for president if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don't think she can speak out against the occupation because she supports it.
Cindy Sheehan
Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is a pledge of the possible conformity between the soul and nature, and consequently a ground of faith in the supremacy of the good.
George Santayana
He is born in vain, who having attained the human birth, so difficult to get, does not attempt to realise God in this very life
Ramakrishna
Life is as long as you live it.
Lashauna D. Hinton
If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
E.B. White
There's always a choice,' said Torak, and walked backward off the cliff.
Michelle Paver
There's Only so much emotional super glue in a person's soul, that everything just stays broken.
Laurell K Hamilton
Greater than the temptations of beauty are those of method.
James Richardson
One is seduced and battered in turn. The result is presumably wisdom. Wisdom! We are clinging to life like lizards.Why is it so difficult to assemble those things that really matter in life and to dwell among them only? I am referring to certain landscapes, persons, beasts, books, rooms, meteorological conditions, fruits. In fact, I insist on it.A letter is like a poem, it leaps into life and shows very clearly the marks, perhaps I should say thumbprints, of an unwilling or unready composer.
James Salter
Don't let the Dogma of men to interfere with your Destiny
Bernard Kelvin Clive
Grow deep roots to harvest rich fruit! When your roots run deep, you cannot help but bear the fruit of the Spirit.
Michael Bernard Beckwith
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.
Mary Anne Radmacher
But when all was said the important thing was to love rather than to be loved.
W. Somerset Maugham
The game of science is, in principle, without end. He who decides one day that scientific statements do not call for any further test, and that they can be regarded as finally verified, retires from the game.
Karl Popper
There is one order of beauty which seems made to turn heads. It is a beauty like that of kittens, or very small downy ducks making gentle rippling noises with their soft bills, or babies just beginning to toddle.
T.S. Eliot
Truth is naturally universal...and shines into many different windows, though many are clouded.
Anya Seton
From the mouths of the innocents flows truth.
Rae Carson
The most beautiful women in the world were African.
Martin Cruz Smith
measureless our pure living complete love whose doom is beauty and its fate to grow
E.E. Cummings
I will instruct my sorrows to be proud For grief is proud an't makes his owner stoop
Love is like life with or without justice, with or without fairness.
Fadi Hattendorf
She told the truth as she saw it, and she died for it. I came along for the ride, and I lived. It wasn't worth it. But it was the truth, and it was what had to happen.
Mira Grant
Oh, the tree of life is growing where the spirit never dies And the bright light of salvation shines in dark and empty skies.
Bob Dylan
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld
