Albert Einstein

The moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space I shall never fully know. But the moon that pulls the tides, and the moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. When we describe the moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.

Douglas MacArthur

Friedrich Nietzsche

If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which He has inflicted upon men, He would kill Himself.

Alexandre Dumas

If you take away ideology, you are left with a case by case ethics which in practice ends up as me first, me only, and in rampant greed.

Richard A. Nelson

California must be all American or all Chinese. We are resolved that it shall be American, and are prepared to make it so. May we not rely upon your sympathy and assistance?

Denis Kearney

Every mind must make its choice between truth and repose. It cannot have both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
