What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can't I just be an ordinary woman?

Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.

Albert Einstein

All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, until they take root in our personal experience.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.

General Douglas MacArthur

Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.

Albert Schweitzer

Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede I have ever seen? And here is my good big centipede! If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

William S. Burroughs

I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

Annie Leibovitz

The part of my brain that was responsible for creating the world I lived and moved in and for taking the raw data that came in through my senses and fashioning it into a meaningful universe: that part of my brain was down, and out. And yet despite all of this, I had been alive, and aware, truly aware, in a universe characterized above all by love, consciousness, and reality. There was, for me, simply no arguing this fact. I knew it so completely that I ached.

Eben Alexander III M.D.

Quit now, you'll never make it. If you disregard this advice, you'll be halfway there.

David Zucker

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.

Kahlil Gibran

We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.

Henri Frederic Amiel

There were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity. Certain numbers were the same way and certain dates and these with the names of the places were all you could say and have them mean anything. Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene beside the concrete names of villages, the numbers of roads, the names of rivers, the numbers of regiments and the dates.

Ernest Hemingway

I really like listening to music in my car.
