Ah! How neatly tied, in these people, is the umbilical cord of morality! Since they left their mothers they have never sinned, have they? They are apostles, they are the descendants of priests; one can only wonder from what source they draw their indignation, and above all how much they have pocketed to do this, and in any case what it has done for them.

I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

Albert Einstein

Proverb

Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.

Robert Wyatt

We worry about the seemingly ever-increasing number of natural catastrophes.

James Russell Lowell

Adam Sandler

I love her beyond reason.

Janet Mullany

The assumption that nature is all there is, and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places, makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.

Phillip E. Johnson

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

Mark Twain

Billy Crystal knows how to make people laugh. He's got 30 years on stage... there's no telling him what's funny.

Harold Ramis
