The aim of education should be to convert the mind into living fountain, and not a reservoir.

I'm proud of all the movies I've made. They're not sequels, they're not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don't want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that.

Kevin Costner

I've never had WiFi at home. I'm too easily distracted, and YouTube is too tempting.

Dave Eggers

Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality.

When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.

Alex Haley

Work is nothing but the slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great images in whose presence His Or Her heart first opened.

Albert Camus

They had no conversation together, no intercourse but what the commonest civility required. Once so much to each other! Now nothing! There had been a time, when of all the large party now filling the drawing-room at Uppercross, they would have found it most difficult to cease to speak to one another. With the exception, perhaps, of Admiral and Mrs. Croft, who seemed particularly attached and happy, (Anne could allow no other exception even among the married couples) there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so simliar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become aquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.

Jane Austen

The proper study of mankind is the science of design.

Herbert Simon

I don't consider myself to be a major talent, so the only solace I can take is to hope I'm growing.

Paul Simon

When I was a little kid, I was really scared of the dark. But then I came to understand, dark just means the absence of photons in the visible wavelength—400 to 700 nanometers. Then I thought, well it’s really silly to be afraid of a lack of photons. Then I wasn’t afraid of the dark anymore after that.

Elon Musk

It was very bad if the council had resorted to recruiting men. By tradition men were our last line of defence, their physical strength bent towards the single and most important task of protecting our homes and children. This meant the council had decided that our only defence was to defeat the enemy, period. Anything else meant the end of Darre.

The earth laughs in flowers.

Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.

Joseph Addison
