For most of my life, one of the persons most baffled by my own work was myself.

Benoit Mandelbrot

Marshall McLuhan

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

Winston Churchill

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

Muriel Spark

Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing --to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had the most beautiful dream, and then I fell asleep in your arms and my dream turned lovelier still.

Richelle E. Goodrich

Philosophy is the science which considers truth.

Aristotle

There is in every child a painstaking teacher, so skilful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!

Maria Montessori

I finally know the difference between pleasing and loving, obeying and respecting. It has taken me so many years to be okay with being different, and with being this alive, this intense. (xxvi)

Eve Ensler

The whole structure of science gradually grows, but only as it is built upon a firm foundation of past research.
