A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universe, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.
Charles Darwin
Only stupid men trying to seem smart need to be with dumb women. Only weak men trying to look strong are attracted to compliant women.
Orson Scott Card
Babies don't come with instruction booklets. You'd learn the same way we all do -- you'd read up on dinosaurs, you'd Google backhoes and skidders. And you don't need a penis to go buy a baseball glove.
Jodi Picoult
It takes that je ne sais quoi which we call sophistication for a woman to be magnificent in a drawing-room when her faculties have departed but she herself has not yet gone home.
James Thurber
Sports broadcasting is very open now. In the beginning you did encounter more traditional attitudes and get comments. But I'm talking about 12 years ago.
Kirsty Gallacher
From one casual of mine he picked this sentence. 'After dinner, the men moved into the living room'. I explained to the professor that this was Ross's way of giving the men time to push back their chairs and stand up. There must, as we know, be a comma after every move, made by men, on this earth.
Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole, and not that of any one class.
Plato
One has but to observe a community of beavers at work in a stream to understand the loss in his sagacity, balance, co-operation, competence, and purpose which Man has suffered since he rose up on his hind legs. He began to chatter and he developed Reason, Thought, and Imagination, qualities which would get the smartest group of rabbits or orioles in the world into inextricable trouble overnight.
Politics... have always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
Henry Adams
The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people --that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.
Law is order, and good law is good order.
Aristotle
There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.
George Bernard Shaw
It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.
Friedrich Schiller
My opposition To Interviews lies in the fact that offhand answers have little value or grace of expression, and that such oral give and take helps to perpetuate the decline of the English language.
Then, one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...you give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.
Neil Gaiman
I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God.
James Brown
Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.
John Wooden
The union movement has been the best middle class job creating program that America has ever had, and it doesn't cost the government a dime.
Andy Stern
I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.
Michel de Montaigne
The difference between our decadence and the Russians is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.
No matter what the cause, God is only as willing as you are.
Steve Maraboli
Not longer loved or fostered by religion, beauty is lifted from its face as a mask, and its absence exposes features on that face which threaten to become incomprehensible to man.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
There are two kinds of light -- the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures.
Well, we must wait for the future to show.
Virginia Woolf
Love is the strange bewilderment that overtakes one person on account of another person.
If you're not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I'd rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.
Will Smith
I had patience with them for many ages: they tried me very sorely. They did terrible things: they embraced death, and said that eternal life was a fable. I stood amazed at the malice and destructiveness of the things I had made...
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Nelson Mandela
Love is what you've been through with somebody.
It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed.
Walter Benjamin
Edward had a personal horror of violence and never endorsed or excused it, though in a documentary he made about the conflict he said that actions like the bombing of pilgrims at Tel Aviv airport 'did more harm than good,' which I remember thinking was (a) euphemistic and (b) a slipshod expression unworthy of a professor of English.
Christopher Hitchens
God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.
Mahatma Gandhi
I love the idea of there being two sexes, don't you?
Animals that we eat are raised for food in the most economical way possible, and the serious food producers do it in the most humane way possible. I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.
Julia Child
You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.
Reforming public education, cutting property taxes, fixing adult and child protective services and funding our budget can all occur when Democrats and Republicans engage in consensus and cooperation - not cynicism and combat.
Rick Perry
If you don't care about quality, you can meet any other requirement.
Tester
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Indeed this gentleman's stoicism was of that not uncommon kind, which enables a man to bear with exemplary fortitude the afflictions of his friends, but renders him, by way of counterpoise, rather selfish and sensitive in respect of any that happen to befall himself.
Charles Dickens
'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.
