You begin by always expecting good things to happen

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When Fortune smiles, I smile to think how quickly she will frown.

Robert Southwell

The stream of human knowledge is impartially heading towards a non-mechanical reality. The universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter. We are beginning to suspect that we ought rather to hail it as the creator and governor of this realm.

Sir James Jeans, The Mysterious

Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not.

Andrea Dworkin

Hypocrite reader -- my fellow -- my brother!

Charles Baudelaire

You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall.

Jawaharlal Nehru

True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.

Albert Einstein

I think English film is very embarrassed by patriotism, generally.

Tom Hooper

I think it's a tough road if you're a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, if you have a partner, if you don't. It's the best job in the world, and the toughest job in the world all at the same time.

Angela Kinsey

I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.

Christian Bale

The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.

Samuel Johnson

To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.

Jane Austen
