Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.

Fashion is something barbarous, for it produces innovation without reason and imitation without benefit.

George Santayana

It's part of a cycle of stories I'm writing where I deconstruct classic science fiction.

Cory Doctorow

Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Friendship's the privilege of private men for wretched greatness knows no blessing so substantial.

Nahum Tate

The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others.

Bertrand Russell

I think the opportunity to deal with students and getting them properly oriented on science and theology and the relation between those is going to be important because science has been such an instrument used by the materialists to undermine the Christian faith and religious belief generally.

William A. Dembski

For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

Elle Macpherson

Faith is reason grown courageous.

Sherwood Eddy

The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity -- much less dissent.

Gore Vidal

There is no bigotry like that of free thought run to seed.

Horace Greeley

We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot, Littl

On all the peaks lies peace.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
