Biology, meaning the science of all life, is a late notion.

With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half.

Otto von Bismarck

Had I but servd my God with half the zealI servd my king, He would not in mine ageHave left me naked to mine enemies.

William Shakespeare

After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.

Ang Lee

His lordship may compel us to be equal upstairs, but there will never be equality in the servants' hall.

J. M. Barrie

My friends and I would get up early and take our horses through the national forest. My mom was very free. It was always 'Out of the house!' There was no watching television on weekends.

Anna Torv

Sorrows gather around great souls as storms do around mountains but, like them, they break the storm and purify the air of the plain beneath them.

Jean Paul

Money, it turned out, was exactly like sex, you thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.

James Baldwin

The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention.

Adolf Hitler

If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.

Rotarian

If government half a century ago had provided us with all our dinners and breakfasts, it would be the practice of our orators today to assume the impossibility of our providing for ourselves.

Auberon Herbert, The Right and W

When one subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation), sleep, eating and swilling, buttoning and unbuttoning -- how much remains of downright existence? The summer of a dormouse.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

But the man who dares to live his life with death before his eyes, the man who receives life back bit by bit and lives as though it did not belong to him by right but has been bestowed on him as a gift, the man who has such freedom and peace of mind that he has overcome death in his thoughts--such a man believes in eternal life because it is already his, it is a present experience, and he already benefits from its peace and joy. He cannot describe this experience in words. He may not be able to conform his view with the traditional picture of it. But one thing he knows for certain: Something within us does not pass away, something goes on living and working wherever the kingdom of the spirit is present. It is already working and living within us, because in our hearts we have been able to reach life by overcoming death.source: http://home.pcisys.net/~jnf/schauth/rq8.html
