Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.

To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.

Edmond Haracourt

When I read Thirteen Days I was moved by it. It was just a great time for the world, in terms of looking back in history and seeing how we got ourselves into trouble and how we got ourselves out of trouble.

Kevin Costner

He lifts her breasts, which fit perfectly into his hands, though he knows this is no promise that he gets to keep them. A million things you can't have will fit in a human hand.

Barbara Kingsolver

America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress. It acted on this belief it has advanced human happiness, and it has prospered.

Louis D. Brandeis

The best effect of any book, is that it excites the reader to self-activity.

Thomas Carlyle

In a logically perfect language, there will be one word and no more for every simple object, and everything that is not simple will be expressed by a combination of words, by a combination derived, of course, from the words for the simple things that enter in, one word for each simple component.

Bertrand Russell

The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...

Albert Schweitzer

To act and act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait and wait patiently when it is time for repose, put man in accord with the rising and falling tides (of affairs), so that with nature and law at his back, and truth and beneficence as his beacon light, he may accomplish wonders. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other. Man thus becomes the victim of the tides when he should be their Master.

Helen P. Blavatsky

Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest violence.

Proverb

The time I spent thinking about how I was better than somebody else or worrying about somebody else's attitude was time I could put to better use.

Charley Pride

I'm an off-road racecar driver. And I think every woman in my life has told me that's not a sensible hobby. But when I was growing, even more than I wanted to be funny, I wanted to be a racecar driver. That's all I thought about. I worked for a race team when I was 15 and I traveled with them.

Dax Shepard

Conceive. That is the word that means both the beginning in imagination and the end in creation.

George Bernard Shaw
