How excellent it is to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use like a giant.
Why do British people make such good TV? It's so annoying. Stop it. Is it because they have free health care? Uggh.
Elizabeth Meriwether
When we argue for our limitations, we get to keep them.
Peter McWilliams
My heart goes out to the brave citizens of Syria, who each day risk and even sacrifice their lives to achieve freedom from a murderous regime. We in Israel welcome the historic struggle to forge democratic, peace-loving governments in our region.
Shimon Peres
All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experiences and have a meaning only in reference to these sense-experiences. On the other hand, however, they are products of the spontaneous activity of our minds they are thus in no wise logical consequences of the contents of these sense-experiences. If, therefore, we wish to grasp the essence of a complex of abstract notions we must for the one part investigate the mutual relationships between the concepts and the assertions made about them for the other, we must investigate how they are related to the experiences.
Albert Einstein
Would you live with ease, do what you ought, and not what you please.
Benjamin Franklin
The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don't even have breakfast together.
A. N. Wilson
Man is many things, but he is not rational.
Oscar Wilde
There are more triumphs than defeats with Cosmic Ordering.
Stephen Richards
I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods, but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day, which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me.
Erica Durance
You know, you can make a small mistake in language or etiquette in Britain, or you could when I was younger, and really be made to feel it, and it's the flick of a lash, but it would sting, and especially at school where there's not much privacy, and so on. You could, yes, undoubtedly be made to feel crushed.
Christopher Hitchens
You are going to die like a dog for no good reason
Ernest Hemingway
The secret of culture is to learn, that a few great points steadily reappear,???and that these few are alone to be regarded, the escape from all false ties; courage to be what we are; and love of what is simple and beautiful; independence, and cheerful r
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are not really privy to all that crazy stuff that goes on in the show. I go to work, eat, and talk about food. The wild things happen when we aren't around. I expected Top Chef to last three or four seasons and we are now shooting season ten.
Tom Colicchio
In fact, now you mention the subject, I have been very bad in my own small way.I don't think you should be so proud of that, though I am sure it must have been very pleasant.
Demands for equality for women are threats to men's self-esteem and sense of sexual turf.
Alice S. Rossi
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.
H. L. Mencken
I tell you I can't be bothered with things like that. I've got a soul above buttons.
George Orwell
I have a lot of health anxiety.
Charlie Kaufman
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
William Butler Yeats
Few and mean as my gifts may be, I actually am, and do not need for my own assurance or the assurance of my fellows any secondary testimony.
There's a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I'm affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution, as for my brother he doesn't want to leave. He likes it very much.
David Bowie
Your silence gives consent.
Plato
We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.
I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she'll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.
Kim Basinger
The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size.
Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.
I will never hurt you.I will always help you.If you are hungryIll give you my food.If you are frightenedI am your friend.I love you now.And love does not end.
Orson Scott Card
It is most important that we should keep in this country a certain leisured class. I am of the opinion of the ancient Jewish book which says there is no wisdom without leisure.
Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well.
Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.
The supreme function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason
Blaise Pascal
A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.
Education is the vaccine for violence.
Edward James Olmos
Let us never weary of repeating, that to think first of the disinherited and sorrowful classes; to relieve, ventilate, enlighten, and love them; to enlarge their horizon to a magnificent extent; to lavish upon them education in every shape; to set them an example of labor, and never of indolence; to lessen the weight of the individual burden by increasing the notion of the universal aim; to limit poverty without limiting wealth; to create vast fields of public and popular activity; to have, like Briareus, a hundred hands to stretch out on all sides to the crushed and the weak; to employ the collective power in the grand task of opening workshops for every arm, schools for every aptitude, and laboratories for every intellect; to increase wages, diminish toil, and balance the debit and credit--that is to say, proportion enjoyment to effort, and supply to demand; in a word, to evolve from the social machine, on behalf of those who suffer and those who are ignorant, more light and more comfort, is (and sympathetic souls must not forget it) the first of brotherly obligations, and (let egotistic hearts learn the fact) the first of political necessities.
Victor Hugo
Mysticism has been in the past and probably ever will be one of the great powers of the world and it is bad scholarship to pretend the contrary. You may argue against it but you should no more treat it with disrespect than a perfectly cultivated writer would treat (say) the Catholic Church or the Church of Luther no matter how much he disliked them.
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When you are old and gray and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read, and dream of the soft look your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.
