The biggest threat to our well-being is the absence of moral clarity and purpose.

What we hope to achieve is a society that doesn't value a white man because he's a white man, but also doesn't value a woman because she's a woman, or a black because he's a black.

Elizabeth Edwards

Appreciation of life itself, becoming suddenly aware of the miracle of being alive, on this planet, can turn what we call ordinary life into a miracle. We come awake to such a realization when we recognize our connection to a spiritual dimension.

Dan Wakefield

Only when one has lost all curiosity about the future has one reached the age to write an autobiography.

Evelyn Waugh

Progress is the stride of God.

Victor Hugo

In a republican nation, whose citizens are to be led by reason and persuasion and not by force, the art of reasoning becomes of first importance

Thomas Jefferson

The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited.

Alan Kay

It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul.

Robert Redford

This is the second day now that I do not know the result of the juegos he thought. But I must have confidence and I must be worthy of the great DiMaggio who does all things perfectly even with the pain of the bone spur in his heel.

Ernest Hemingway

Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning and life at that price is not worth living.

Gilbert Parker

All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life.

Thomas Mann

...I hide you inside me because I have found, beauty is the illumination of the mind...

John Geddes

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.
