We are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.

I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult.

Rita Rudner

I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will. Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?

Bryan Ferry

I think we have erred on the side of being too conservative so far, to tell you the truth.

Roone Arledge

And there, right in the middle of it, I find 'Forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.' There is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. It is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.

C.S. Lewis

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.

Simone de Beauvoir

Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.

Horace

Secrets travel fast in Paris.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.

Theodore Leavitt

There is not a grain of dust, not an atom that can become nothing, yet man believes that death is the annhilation of his being.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Close contact between science and the practice of collective farms and State farms creates inexhaustible opportunities for the development of theoretical knowledge, enabling us to learn ever more and more about the nature of living bodies and the soil.

Trofim Lysenko

America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.
