People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies.
To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.
Heraclitus
One can no more approach people without love than one can approach bees without care. Such is the quality of bees...
Leo Tolstoy
Man is the animal that intends to shoot himself out into interplanetary space, after having given up on the problem of an efficient way to get himself five miles to work and back each day.

People must not do things for fun. We are not here for fun. There is no reference to fun in any act of Parliament.
Auberon Herbert
Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder. Men who would face torture without a word become blasphemous at the short fourteenth. It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behavior not otherwise excusable.
The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being.

George Herbert
The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.
William Ames
Storms make the oak grow deeper roots.
Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.
Melancholy were the sounds on a winter's night.
Virginia Woolf
He that knows nothing doubts nothing.
Be thrifty, but not covetous.
One enemy is too much.
Sydney in the 1960s wasn't the exuberant multicultural metropolis it is today. Out in the city's western reaches, days passed in a sun-struck stupor. In the evenings, families gathered on their verandas waiting for the 'southerly buster' - the thunderstorm that would break the heat and leave the air cool enough to allow sleep.
Geraldine Brooks
When it went on the air, the sales department hated it. It was the highest advertising pullout show in the history of NBC. At the early focus groups, people were saying, 'Who are these people? Why should we watch them?
Dick Wolf
My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'
Miranda Lambert
Spend not on hopes.
The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception
Friedrich Nietzsche
My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12, I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society,' so we moved to New York for the run of that.
Anna Kendrick

What's the subject of life - to get rich? All of those fellows out there getting rich could be dancing around the real subject of life.
Paul A. Volcker
After the dazzling orgies in form and color of the eighteenth century, art was put on a diet, and allowed nothing but the straight line. This sort of progress ended in ugliness. Art reduced to a skeleton, was the result. This was the advantage of this kind of wisdom and abstinence; the style was so sober that it became lean.
Victor Hugo
I want to make my music and be a happy woman, a good wife, a good mom and one day hopefully have a child of my own.
LeAnn Rimes
If goodness has causes, it is not goodness; if it has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either. So goodness is outside the chain of cause and effect.
The false religion of lust is baser than the false religion of mother-love or patriotism or art: but lust is less likely to be made into a religion.
C.S. Lewis
I get up every morning and it's going to be a great day. You never know when it's going to be over so I refuse to have a bad day.
