Technology is, of course, a double edged sword. Fire can cook our food but also burn us.
There are so many things that poetry is about, one of which is memory.
Peter Davison
I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like, 'I really want to be part of that,' but not realizing what that was.
Leighton Meester
I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.
Marilyn Manson
I tried the paleo diet, which is the caveman diet - lots of meat. And I tried the calorie restriction diet: The idea is that if you eat very, very little - if you're on the verge of starvation, you will live a very long time, whether or not you want to, of course.
A. J. Jacobs
The underlying message of the Lancet article is that if you want to understand aggressive behaviour in children, look to the social and emotional environment in which they are growing up, and the values they bring to the viewing experience.
Hugh Mackay
Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.
Euripides
The real harm of term extension comes not from these famous works. The real harm is to the works that are not famous, not commercially exploited, and no longer available as a result.
Lawrence Lessig
Ideology and communication more often than not run into each other rather than complement each other. Principle and communication work together. Ideology and communication often work apart.
Frank Luntz

Sean Penn
Intelligence flourishes only in the ages when belief withers.
Emile M. Cioran
The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.
Bob Marley
It is not the business of generals to shoot one another.
Arthur Wellesley
If you can provide the funding and you get the leadership, you'll have a competitive team.
T. Boone Pickens
Hurry, conscious younger people! Get to power quickly so political decisions can be based on the greater good for all rather than the greater gain for few. Hurry, before it is too late!
Jane Siberry
In better times the religion of the tribe or state has nothing in common with the private and foreign superstitions or magical rites that savage terror may dictate to the individual.
William Robertson Smith
You must not under any pretense allow your mind to dwell on any thought that is not positive, constructive, optimistic, kind.
Emmet Fox
If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that's exactly what I did.
Gordon Ramsay
Writing for children is bloody difficult books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts, and they should therefore be accorded the same respect.
Mark Haddon
I get in trouble when I say things like, 'I'm attracted to violence.' I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.
Caleb Carr
A crowd always thinks with its sympathy, never with its reason.
William R. Alger
You want to come home to a nice firm bed with the corners tucked in so you start over, like each night is like a new night.
Gabrielle Union
No, I think the future of humanity will be like the past, we'll do what we've always done and there will still be human beings. Granted, there will always be people doing something different and there are a lot of possibilities.
Octavia Butler
Having been given that public trust, we have a responsibility to share with the public.
Steven Squyres
We travel to learn and I have never been in any country where they did not do something better than we do it, think some thoughts better than we think, catch some inspiration from heights above our own.

Walter Lang
The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.
Frederic Bastiat
I want to see far more decisions taken far closer to the patients, the passengers and the pupils. Far more power for locally and regionally elected politicians who understand best the needs of their areas. And far more say too for the dedicated staff at all levels in health and education.
Charles Kennedy
We have a project with Unocal here in Los Angeles, where we as an environmental organization, the oil company, and the state all get together to promote the recycling of used motor oil.
Ted Danson
I think when kids just see well-crafted poetry, it's just obtuse to them. It's hard to relate to.
Jewel
We know only that we are living in these bodies and have a vague idea, because we have heard it, and because our faith tells us so, that we possess souls. As to what good qualities there may be in our souls, or who dwells within them, or how precious they are, those are things which seldom consider and so we trouble little about carefully preserving the soul's beauty.
Teresa of Avila
I don't believe in dieting.
Joan Collins
We bloomed in Spring. Our bodies are the leaves of God. The apparent seasons of life and death our eyes can suffer; but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright: they are God Himself, we will never perish until He does.
Something was still there, that something that distinguishes an artist from a performer: the revealing of self. Here I be. Not for long, but here I be. In sensing her mortality, we sensed our own.
Studs Terkel
Most of us have jobs that are too small for our spirits.
There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it, but it was a great piece of art.
Danny Aiello
Except for the young or very happy, I can't say I am sorry for anyone who dies.
William Makepeace Thackeray
I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue.

Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.
When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.
