How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.

Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.

Jose Marti

The afflicted are not listened to. They are like someone whose tongue has been cut out and who occasionally forgets the fact. When they move their lips no ear perceives any sound. And they themselves soon sink into impotence in the use of language, because of the certainty of not being heard.

Simone Weil

And that inverted bowl we call The Sky, where under crawling coop't we live and die, lift not thy hands to It for help -- for it rolls impotently on as thou or I.

Omar Khayyam

Tell me who admires you and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.

Charles Augustin SainteBeuve

I appreciate humor so much, but I'm actually not a funny girl.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

The biggest financial pitfall in life is divorce. And the biggest reason for divorce is marriage.

Gene Simmons

I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.

Albert Einstein

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.

Kahlil Gibran

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?

Billy Joel

Ironically, for a few million people in the Far East, I did become an English teacher through my music.

Pat Boone

You have to understand that people that are hurting are going to criticize.

George H. W. Bush

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
