One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition.
Don't kid yourself. President Obama's decision to withdraw 33,000 troops from Afghanistan before he stands for reelection is not driven by the United States' 'position of strength' in the war zone as much as it is by grim economic and political realities at home.
Ron Fournier
In prehistoric times, mankind often had only two choices in crisis situations: fight or flee. In modern times, humor offers us a third alternative fight, flee - or laugh.
Robert Orben

What is to absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.
Robert Jordan
Each time I seem to go through one of life's huge things, I want to play music.
Katey Sagal
Joshie has always told Post Human Services Staff to keep a diary, to remember who we were because every moment, our brains and synapses are being rebuilt and rewired with maddening disregard for our personalities, so that each year, each month, each day, we transfer into a different person, an utterly unfaithful iteration of our original selves, of the drooling kid in the sandbox. But not me. I am still a facsimile of my early childhood. I am still looking for a loving dad to lift me up and brush the sand off my ass and to hear English, calm and hurtless, fall off his lips.
Gary Shteyngart
Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.
Hippocrates
People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.
Curt Schilling
Skepticism is the agent of reason against organized irrationalism--and is therefore one of the keys to human social and civic decency.
Stephen Jay Gould
STOP wishing for a better tomorrow...when you can keep working for a better today!

Dear mother! Today a joyful notice. H. A. Lorentz has telegraphed me that the English expeditions have really proven the deflection of light at the sun.
Albert Einstein
The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word. It refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence.
National Academy of Sciences
I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.

I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Oscar Wilde
Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Even such is man, whose glory lends His life a blaze or two, and ends.
Francis Quarles
For truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in every way; its use, noble as it is, has its circumscriptions and limits.
Michel de Montaigne
The myth of the self-made man, has to be profoundly hypocritical: it is the self-serving demonstration that a lie is the truth.
Che Guevara
I despise making the most of one's time. Half of the pleasures of life consist of the opportunities one has neglected.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr
I believe the defenders of intelligent design deserve our gratitude for challenging a scientific world view that owes some of the passion displayed by its adherents precisely to the fact that it is thought to liberate us from religion. That world view is ripe for displacement....
Thomas Nagel
a problem well put is half solved.
John Dewey
Love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away. Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more. It's just like a magic penny, Hold it tight and you won't have any. Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many They'll roll all over the floor.
Malvina Reynolds
Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine, My life and death attend; Thy presence through my journey shine, And crown my journey's end.
Anne Steele
Mr. Franz, I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't want one.
Jon Krakauer
The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression.
Life has always seemed to me like a plant that lives on its rhizome. Its true life is invisible, hidden in the rhizome. The part that appears above ground lasts only a single summer. What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rhizome remains.
Carl Jung
I dont care who you are I know who I am
Sandra Cameroun
I wished, by treating Psychology like a natural science, to help her to become one.

Yet we must say something when those who say the most are saying nothing.
Augustine of Hippo
Shit, money, and the World, the three American truths, powering the American mobility, claimed the Slothrops, clasped them for good to the country's fate. But they did not prosper... about all they did was persist
Thomas Pynchon
Those who are esteemed umpires of taste, are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, and have an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual. Their cultivation is local, as if you should rub a log of dry wood in one spot to produce fire, all the rest remaining cold. Their knowledge of the fine arts is some study of rules and particulars, or some limited judgment of color or form which is exercised for amusement or for show. It is a proof of the shallowness of the doctrine of beauty, as it lies in the minds of our amateurs, that men seem to have lost the perception of the instant dependence of form upon soul.
It's okay to wander.
Tony Dungy
I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.
Marie Curie
Fight for the only thing she knew was good enough, noble enough, powerful enough to be worth risking everything... Love.
Lauren Kate
Once you turn forty...the whole world is water off a duck's back. Once you turn forty you realize that life is there to be wasted.
