You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for the law is too slow. I'll ruin you.
I'm taking inorganic chem and physics not because I want to but because I have to. Not every doctor wants to be a scientist. Some of us just want to take care of sick people. I can't help thinking that medicine is more closely aligned to the humanities than to the sciences. I can't help thinking that I could learn more about being a good doctor from William Shakespeare than I could from Isaac Newton. After all, isn't understanding people at least as important as understanding pathology?
Michael J. Collins
We shall all live. We pray for life, children, a good harvest and happiness. You will have what is good for you and I will have what is good for me. Let the kite perch and let the egret perch too. If one says no to the other, let his wing break.

Death is only final when you know you're not going to see them again!
Evinda Lepins
When, as we must often do, we fear science, we really fear ourselves. Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.
John Polanyi
The truth is hidden from us. Even if a mere piece of luck brings us straight to it, we shall have no grounded conviction of our success; there are so many similar objects, all claiming to be the real thing.
Lucian
He had known so much about her once -what she thought, how she felt, the reasons for her actions. And now he only knew that he loved her, and all the other knowledge seemed passing from him just as he needed it most.
E.M. Forster
People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.
Paulo Coelho
Write - because you will explode if you don't, your brain will expand with words like a balloon filling with air....
Sarah Colliver
Creation science is an attempt to give credibility to Hebrew mythology by making people believe that the world's foremost biologists, paleontologists, and geologists are a bunch of incompetent nincompoops.
Ron Peterson
Cordelia! stay a little. Ha! What is't thou say'st? Her voice was ever soft.
William Shakespeare

maybe, beauty, true beauty, is so overwhelming, it goes straight to our hearts.maybe it makes us feel emotions that are locked away inside
James Patterson
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If nature has composed the human body so that in its proportions the seperate individual elements answer to the total form, then the Ancients seem to have had reason to decide that bringing their creations to full completion likewise required a correspondence bewteen the measure of individual elements and the appearance of the work as a whole.
Vitruvius
So the poet, who wants to be something that he cannot be, and is a failure in plain life, makes up fictitious versions of his predicament that are interesting even to other persons because nobody is a perfect automobile salesman.
Allen Tate
Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it -- namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.
Mark Twain
Your divine sagacity is your life's status symbol.
Ogwo David Emenike
Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ASK. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds.
Anne Rice
Oh darling, don't be bitter. It's the first instinct of the weak.
Sarah Dessen
A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up towards the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-coloured rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Prophecy: Two bull's eyes out of a possible million
It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.
Samuel Johnson
The piano is able to communicate the subtlest universal truths by means of wood, metal and vibrating air.
Kenneth Miller
The courage to cooperate or initiate are based entirely on the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as the divine mind within you tells you the truth is. It really does require a courage and a self-disciplining to go along with that truth.
Buckminster Fuller
Here's the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers. That's not 50 per cent. Two years from now, Britain will have the highest tax rate on earned income of any developed country.
Andrew Lloyd Webber
No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.
Madonna
History was a series of decisions about what to tell and a series of accidents about what survived after telling. Not truth, but a historian could search for truth, and the search was as worthy as any other human activity.
David Drake
Everything that had happened was shockingly beautiful, enough to make you crazy.
Banana Yoshimoto
The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with.

Plant a kernel of wheat and you reap a pint; plant a pint and you reap a bushel. Always the law works to give you back more than you give.
Anthony Norvell
The opinions that the price of commodities depends solely on the proportion of supply and demand, or demand to supply, has become almost an axiom in political economy, and has been the source of much error in that science.
David Ricardo
It's not rocket science. It's social science.
Clement Mok
He had only one vanity; he thought he could give advice better than any other person
life is either a reproducible, almost commonplace manifestation of matter, given certain conditions, or a miracle. Too many steps are involved to allow for something in between.
Christian de Duve
Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.
Rosa Parks
But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar
I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.
