Voi rakkaanisydän on kylmäja sammalta käteni kasvaaMinun reiteni mullassa hajoovat maaksiJa haudalla risti jo lahona on.Olen maa.Olen maa johon tahdot.
Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.
Albert Camus
Men must try and try again. They must suffer the consequences of their own mistakes and learn by their own failures and their own successes.
Lawson Purdy
So different are the colours of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.
Victor Hugo
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Edward Bouverie Pusey
Maternity is on the face of it an unsociable experience. The selfishness that a woman has learned to stifle or to dissemble where she alone is concerned, blooms freely and unashamed on behalf of her offspring.
Emily James Putnam
Why do you love the woman you're in love with? Because she is. And that, after all, is God's own definition of Himself; I am that I am. The girl is who she is. Some of her isness spills over and impregnates the entire universe. Objects and events cease to be mere representations of classes and become their own uniqueness; cease to be illustrations of verbal abstractions and become fully concrete. Then you stop being in love, and the universe collapses, with an almost audible squeak of derision, into its normal insignificance.
Aldous Huxley
My belief is that no movie, nothing in life, leaves people neutral. You either leave them up or you leave them down.
David Puttnam
When they're standing right in front of you, kings are a kind of speech impediment.
Terry Pratchett
Nature recycles itself. History repeats itself. Religion has faith in itself. Technology creates itself. Humanity loves itself.
Mark Putzke
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
H. L. Mencken
The stories of childhood leave an indelible impression, and their author always has a niche in the temple of memory from which the image is never cast out to be thrown on the rubbish heap of things that are outgrown and outlived.
Howard Pyle
Somewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never heard before: a stricken lament of terrible beauty. And Harry felt, as he had felt about phoenix song before, that the music was inside him, not without: It was his own grief turned magically to song..
J.K. Rowling
A Parliament is that to the Commonwealth which the soul is to the body. It behooves us therefore to keep the facility of that soul from distemper.
John Pym

we who determine how quickly time passes.
Paulo Coelho
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
Pythagoras
People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are.
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
Neil Gaiman
Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will.
What is more mortifying than to feel that you have missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree?
Logan P. Smith
In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
Douglas Adams
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.
If there be light, then there is darkness; if cold, heat; if height, depth; if solid, fluid; if hard, soft; if rough, smooth; if calm, tempest; if prosperity, adversity; if life, death.
There are all kinds of courage,' said Dumbledore, smiling. 'It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.
It's funny, isn't it? How your best friend can just blow up like that?
Monty Python
I don't think there's a punch-line scheduled, is there?
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
Bertrand Russell
There must be a world revolution which puts an end to all materialistic conditions hindering woman from performing her natural role in life and driving her to carry out man's duties in order to be equal in rights.
Colonel Muhammar Qaddafi
One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them.
Thomas Jefferson
Nations whose nationalism is destroyed are subject to ruin.
We must use time as a tool, not as a couch.
John F. Kennedy
Having money is rather like being a blond. It is more fun but not vital.
Mary Quant
The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.
It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
Albert Einstein
How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
To laugh often and much;to win the respect of intelligent peopleand the affection of children;to earn the appreciation of honest criticsand endure the betrayal of false friends;to appreciate beauty;to find the best in others;to leave the world a bit better,whether by a healthy child,a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;to know even one life has breathed easierbecause you have lived.This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Chicago happened slowly, like a migraine. First they were driving through countryside, then, imperceptibly, the occasional town became a low suburban sprawl, and the sprawl became the city.
