A book burrows into your life in a very profound way because the experience of reading is not passive.

Only a male intellect clouded by the sexual drive could call the stunted, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped and short-legged sex the fair sex.

Arthur Schopenhauer

I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.

Tadao Ando

In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it's all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

Brett Favre

Pay as you go is the philosopher's stone.

G. Randolf

The attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.

James Cromwell

Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio.

Thomas Malthus

Those whose acquaintance with scientific research is derived chiefly from its practical results easily develop a completely false notion of the mentality of the men who, surrounded by a skeptical world, have shown the way to kindred spirits scattered wide through the world and through the centuries. Only one who has devoted his life to similar ends can have a vivid realization of what has inspired these men and given them the strength to remain true to their purpose in spite of countless failures. It is cosmic religious feeling that gives a man such strength. A contemporary has said, not unjustly, that in this materialistic age of ours the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people.

Albert Einstein

Apparently, myths become truths if upheld long enough.

Eric Chaisson

Bill Gates

It is a fraud to borrow what we are unable to pay.

Publilius Syrus

I love being objected to. It worries me, but I love being objected to.

Stan Brakhage

When a wise man does not understand, he says: I do not understand. The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom.

Frank Herbert
