Suffering passes, while love is eternal. That's a gift that you have received from God. Don't waste it.
No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The guillotine is the ultimate expression of Law, and its name is vengeance; it is not neutral, nor does it allow us to remain neutral.
Victor Hugo
A man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all the doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false.
Benjamin Franklin
For in the absence of debate unrestricted utterance leads to the degradation of opinion. By a kind of Greshams law the more rational is overcome by the less rational, and the opinions that will prevail will be those which are held most ardently by those with the most passionate will. For that reason the freedom to speak can never be maintained merely by objecting to interference with the liberty of the press, of printing, of broadcasting, of the screen. It can be maintained only by promoting debate.
Walter Lippmann
And now, because of a song, Vimes, a simple piece of music, Vimes, soft as a breath, stranger than a mountain, some very powerful states have agreed to work together to heal the problems of another autonomous state and, almost as collateral, turn some animals into people at a stroke.
Terry Pratchett
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
Sarah McLachlan
If the estimate of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs is correct, then Russia has lost the cold war in western Europe.
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness...
Kahlil Gibran
I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.
George Harrison
The central drama of our age is how the Western nations and the Asian peoples are to find a tolerable basis of co-existence.
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'
Oswald Chambers
Unfortunately, people are not rebelling against Microsoft. They don't know any better.
Steve Jobs
Upon the standard to which the wise and honest will now repair it is written: You have lived the easy way; henceforth, you will live the hard way. You came into a great heritage made by the insight and the sweat and the blood of inspired and devoted and courageous men; thoughtlessly and in utmost self-indulgence you have all but squandered this inheritance. Now only by the heroic virtues which made this inheritance can you restore it again. You took the good things for granted. Now you must earn them again. For every right that you cherish, you have a duty which you must fulfill. For every hope that you entertain, you have a task that you must perform. For every good that you wish to preserve, you will have to sacrifice your comfort and your ease. There is nothing for nothing any longer.
I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.
Roger Ebert
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be noblest
Thomas Carlyle
In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents. They are deprived of their independence. Democratic politicians rarely feel they can afford the luxury of telling the whole truth to the people. And since not telling it, though prudent, is uncomfortable, they find it easier if they themselves do not have to hear too often too much of the sour truth. The men under them who report and collect the news come to realize in their turn that it is safer to be wrong before it has become fashionable to be right.
The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
Richard Branson
Franklin D. Roosevelt is no crusader. He is no tribune of the people. He is no enemy of entrenched privilege. He is a pleasant man who, without any important qualifications for the office, would very much like to be President.
There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.
Harry S. Truman
Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.
Angela Carter
Good for the body is the work of the body, good for the soul is the work of the soul, and good for either is the work of the other.
Henry David Thoreau
I generalized rashly: That is what kills political writing, this absurd pretence that you are delivering a great utterance. You never do. You are just a puzzled man making notes about what you think. You are not building the Pantheon, then why act like a graven image? You are drawing sketches in the sand which the sea will wash away.
To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming, bookkeeping, communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single, integrated personality.
Cliff Shaw
For the newspaper is in all literalness the bible of democracy, the book out of which a people determines its conduct. It is the only serious book most people read. It is the only book they read every day.
I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
Nelson Mandela
Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.
Charlize Theron
It wasn't that Nanny Ogg sang badly. It was just that she could hit notes which, when amplified by a tin bath half full of water, ceased to be sound and became some sort of invasive presence.
First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.
Tyra Banks
Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down.
George Eliot
I grew up in the business since I was three years old so I've always kind of been in front of the camera and grew up in commercials and I knew that I wanted to do it no matter what, I just loved it.
Ashley Tisdale
Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.
William Shakespeare
In war, you win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.
Douglas MacArthur
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
Carl Sagan
We've just got to be careful - with all sports, let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time, but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.
Shane Warne
Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
Mark Hoppus
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Elwood
I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.
Just let me use the technology I want at a fair price.
