Psychiatry enables us to correct our faults by confessing our parents shortcomings.
You are the grim, goal-oriented ones who will not believe that the joy is in the journey rather than the destination no matter how many times it has been proven to you.
Stephen King
Just as predatory animals follow a similar general design and behave in similar ways, so organizations, especially those in competition with one another, must follow certain design principles if they are to succeed and prevail.
Robert Shea
All questions of right to one side, I have never been able to banish the queasy inner suspicion that Israel just did not look, or feel, either permanent or sustainable. I felt this when sitting in the old Ottoman courtyards of Jerusalem, and I felt it even more when I saw the hideous 'Fort Condo' settlements that had been thrown up around the city in order to give the opposite impression. If the statelet was only based on a narrow strip of the Mediterranean littoral (god having apparently ordered Moses to lead the Jews to one of the very few parts of the region with absolutely no oil at all), that would be bad enough. But in addition, it involved roosting on top of an ever-growing population that did not welcome the newcomers.
Christopher Hitchens
I went to America and got into a band, had success, had hits in Australia.
Rick Springfield
I'd definitely rather be rich than famous.
Radha Mitchell
Until as recently as November of 1966, I had complete faith in the Warren Report. Of course, my faith in the Report was grounded in ignorance, since I had never read it.
Jim Garrison
I know not what others may choose but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death.
Patrick Henry
Marriage, Sir, is much more necessary to a man than to a woman; for he is much less able to supply himself with domestick comforts
Samuel Johnson
'Come out' is so funny to me because I've never been in.
Adam Lambert
Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.
Charles Lindbergh
If Americans ever allow banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless
Thomas Jefferson
It is very unhappy, but too late to be helped, the discovery we have made, that we exist
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have a family.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
The passionate are like men standing on their heads; they see all things the wrong way
Plato
Keep thy eyes wide open before marriage, and halfshut afterwards.
Benjamin Franklin
Your self-confidence is simply the part of your brain that tells you whether or not you should try something different or new or believe in yourself, and just as a Jedi truly believes that it is within their power to control their thoughts and stay in the Light, so can you.
Stephen Richards
There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.
Neil Gaiman
melalui musik, bahkan hasrat kita dapat meikmati dirinya sendiri
Friedrich Nietzsche
Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown.
Stephen Gardiner
Good books are for consideration after, too.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Swami Vivekananda
Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination.
Stephen Vizinczey
As both capitalist and communist states -- not to mention the technological world --have evolved under the illusion that men purposefully built them, ideological optimism seeps into every niche of our lives. It is made worse by mass culture which feeds our
My parents are wonderful, and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person.
Brandon Boyd
We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.
Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents birth
Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.
What we perceive about ourselves is greatly a reflection of how we will end up living our lives.
When you close your eyes to tragedy, you close your eyes to greatness.
The only virtue a character needs to possess between hardcovers, even if he bears a real person's name, is vitality: if he comes to life in our imaginations, he passes the test.
Is it possible that I am not alone in believing that in the dispute between Galileo and the Church, the Church was right and the center of man's universe is the earth?
Of all the failed technologies that litter the onward march of science - steam carriages, zeppelins, armoured trains - none has been so catastrophic to prosperity as the last century's attempt to generate electricity from nuclear fission.
James Buchan
Most bad books get that way because their authors are engaged in trying to justify themselves. If a vain author is an alcoholic, then the most sympathetically portrayed character in his book will be an alcoholic. This sort of thing is very boring for outsiders.
I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can't get rid of.
Calvin Trillin
Consistency is a virtue for trains: what we want from a philosopher is insights, whether he comes by them consistently or not.
Like all wage slaves, he had two crosses to bear: the people he worked for and the people he worked with
Fortune is a great deceiver. She sells very dear the things she seems to give us.
Vincent Voiture
If you don't have some bad loans you are not in business.
Paul Volcker
As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms.
C.S. Lewis
Everything ideological possesses meaning: it represents, depicts, or stands for something lying outside itself. In other words, it is a sign. Without signs there is no ideology.
