I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

Our subjective experience of time is highly variable. We all know that days can pass like weeks and months can feel like years, and that the opposite can be just as true: A month or year can zoom by in what feels like no time at all.

Joshua Foer

If women be educated for dependence that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop?

Mary Wollstonecraft

Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals.

Mark Twain

Sure men were born to lie, and women to believe them!

John Gay

The word morality, if we met it in the Bible, would surprise us as much as the word telephone or motor car.

George Bernard Shaw

People lose fifty million skin cells every day. The cells get scraped off and turn into invisible dust, and disappear into the air. Maybe we are nothing but skin cells as far as the world is concerned.

Haruki Murakami

If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons.

Blaise Pascal

At the end of the day it's got to be a good movie, it's got to be a funny movie, and it's got to make people think, 'Hey, I couldn't have spent my time any better.'

Tom Hanks

The salesman knows nothing of what he is selling; save that he is charging a great deal too much for it.

Oscar Wilde

The minute a man ceases to grow, no matter what his years, that minute he begins to be old.

William James

Courtly love is forbidden but morally transcendent. If the secret gets out, relations between judges and lawyers could do a lot for our corrupt legal system.
