Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.
Chris O'Dowd
To know the history of science is to recognize the mortality of any claim to universal truth.
Evelyn Fox Keller
I love readings and my readers, but the din of voices of the audience gives me stage fright, and the din of voices inside whisper that I am a fraud, and that the jig is up. Surely someone will rise up from the audience and say out loud that not only am I not funny and helpful, but I'm annoying, and a phony.
Anne Lamott
Tradition is but a meteor, which, if it once falls, cannot be rekindled. Memory, once interrupted, is not to be recalled. But written learning is a fixed luminary, which, after the cloud that had hidden it has passed away, is again bright in its proper station. So books are faithful repositories, which may be awhile neglected or forgotten, but when opened again, will again impart instruction.
Johnson
It's not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband.
Euripides
Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer, and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?
Kahlil Gibran, "The Voice of the
?Speak up, spread the word, take a pledge, take action...we can all do something to try and end the abuse of bullying!
Timothy Pina
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
George Herbert
I'm pleased to say my knee feels a lot better. It's still not back to normal, and I don't know if it ever will be, but I'm learning to deal with it instead of expecting it to be like it was before.
Shawn Johnson
Psychoanalysis is confession without absolution.
G. K. Chesterton
In fact, technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say, 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.
Reed Hastings
How beautiful can life be? We hardly dare imagine it.
Charles Eisenstein
Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates, and men decay.
Oliver Goldsmith
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
Andy Warhol
I've got a living to make, to put it plainly; there's more money in shocking and terrifying than in edifying.
Walford Bodie
I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.
Janis Ian
Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God, or several signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer, some standing nearer, some further off.
Ralph J. Cudworth
The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Douglas Adams
The Republic needed to be passed through chastening, purifying fires of adversity and suffering: so these came and did their work and the verdure of a new national life springs greenly, luxuriantly, from their ashes.
Horace Greeley
I am shocked by the easy attitude of many in the media towards disclosing our Nation's secrets.
Todd Tiahrt
Human life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating. Compared to it there was nothing else of any value. It was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one's face a mask of glass, nor keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams.
Oscar Wilde
I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they're going to do. I'm just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia.
John Green

Chinese Proverb
Peace through Strength, surely history's most exploded nostrum.
Christopher Hitchens
He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt.
Joseph Heller
I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a bigbuffet in the shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about whatkind of food you want, and the table would move across the floorto it.
Steven Wright
What will we do in a globalised world? All human beings are equal, so they have the same right to have the same lifestyle-the same social security, jobs, education.
Joschka Fischer
Put your trust in God but be sure to keep your powder dry.
Oliver Cromwell
In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs.
Walter Lippmann
Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.
Elie Wiesel
People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.
Patricia Hewitt
The man that blushes is not quite a brute.
Edward Young
Celebrity damages private life.
Tim Berners Lee
Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.
Brandon Sanderson
I want to go to bed richer than when I woke up. The pursuit of wealth is a wonderful thing, but the thing is you have to be honest about it, you have to tell the truth.
Kevin O'Leary
The penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can't fly home.
If love is great, then it is worth fighting for.
Cassandra Clare
You know that the Tasmanians, who never committed adultery, are now extinct.
