All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
Life is only precious because it ends, kid. Take it from a god. You mortals don't know how lucky you are
Rick Riordan
In this single galaxy of ours there are eighty-seven thousand million suns. [...] In challenging it, you would be like ants attempting to label and classify all the grains of sand in all the deserts of the world. [...] It is a bitter thought, but you must face it. The planets you may one day possess. But the stars are not for man.
Arthur C. Clarke
Science is a bit like the joke about the drunk who is looking under a lamppost for a key that he has lost on the other side of the street, because that's where the light is. It has no other choice.
Noam Chomsky
I can't tell if a straw ever saved a drowning man, but I know that a mere glance is enough to make despair pause. For in truth we who are creatures of impulse are not creatures of despair.
Joseph Conrad
It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.
Bill Hybels
Mothers, of course, are all right. They pay a chap's bills and don't bother him. But fathers bother a chap and never pay his bills.
Oscar Wilde
In seven days God had created the Earth. In a single day mankind had turned it upside down.
Kristina McMorris
We never know the quality of someone else's life, though we seldom resist the temptation to assume and pass judgement.
Tami Hoag
Your mind is just like a parachute ! if you don't open it, it won't work !
Tom Evans
I have told the story I was asked to tell. I have closed it, as so many stories close, with a joining of two people. What is one man's and one woman's love and desire, against the history of two worlds, the great revolutions of our lifetimes, the hope, the unending cruelty of our species? A little thing. But a key is a little thing, next to the door it opens. If you lose the key, the door may never be unlocked. It is in our bodies that we lose or begin our freedom, in our bodies that we accept or end our slavery. So I wrote this book for my friend, with whom I have lived and will die free.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It all comes down to who's by your side.
Nicholas Sparks
I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.
Jonathan Safran Foer
We think you'll find that every woman in her heart of hearts longs for three things: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. That's what makes a woman come alive.
John Eldredge
Life is our dictionary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin.
Katharine Butler Hathaway
Many people could say things in a cutting way, Nanny knew. But Granny Weatherwax could in a cutting way. She could make something sound stupid just by hearing it.
Terry Pratchett
I must confess that most modern mysticism seems to me to be simply a method of imparting useless knowledge in a form that no one can understand
If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck
Albert Einstein
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty face from day to day.
William Shakespeare
By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods; since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage, but music for the time doth change his nature. The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night and his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.
There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate when he can't afford it, and when he can. - from Following the Equator
Mark Twain
Time is a terrible thing because it can erase both joys and pains.
Gosho Aoyama
It is not the reverence for words, but for their that determines our deepness of comprehension of a given assertion about Nature.
Felix Alba-Juez
The capacity to blunder slightly is the real marvel of DNA. Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music.
Lewis Thomas
Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me - just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity.
Dee Dee Myers
At home I serve the kind of food I know the story behind.
Michael Pollan
It's a delight to trust somebody so completely.
Jeff Goldblum
Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I was really desperate. I don't know if you can remember back that far, but when I went to graduate school they didn't want females in graduate school. They were very open about it. They didn't mince their words. But then I got in and I got my degree.
Shannon Lucid
You have to really dive deep back into yourself and get rid of so much modern analytical categorization. It's one of the great things poetry does.
Robert Morgan
My major was Fine Arts and Education thinking I would become an Art Teacher. I couldn't visualize myself as an art teacher, thinking how it wouldn't work.
Mark Mothersbaugh
He who stands with his face to the East in the morning will have the sun before him. If he does not change his posture, the Earth in the meantime having changed its, he will have the sun no longer before him, but behind.
Daniel De Leon
I'm definitely a Polaroid camera girl. For me, what I'm really excited about is bringing back the artistry and the nature of Polaroid.
Lady Gaga
My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn't take it out of my garden.
Eric Morecambe
The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan.
Jared Diamond
It basically was an art before. We're just starting to scratch it into a science.
Dennis Conner
The words he said, too, must be human enough to bleed.
Cameron Conaway
The fact is, when it comes to economic leadership, the Republicans have nothing to brag about. This isn't what the American people want. They want to see progress that works for them.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
I love the fair lilies and roses so gay, They are rich in their pride and their splendor; But still more do I love to wander away To the meadow so sweet, Where down at my feet, The harebell blooms modest and tender.
Dora Read Goodale
I treat everyone as a friend, but if they betray me, that's it. They're out of my life in one way or another.
