Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.

It is the truth that has lost. But the search for the truth does not end today.

Francis Escudero

Nothing is lasting but change; nothing perpetual but death.

Ludwig Borne

Faith is trust in what the spirit learned eons ago.

B.H. Roberts

Then there is the other secret. There isn't any symbolysm [sic]. The sea is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.

Ernest Hemingway

Man is made for something better than disturbing dirt.

Oscar Wilde

We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Oscar Wilde

Whenever you don't know someone and you overhear their problems they always sound so trivial.

Cat Agonis

All literature is political.

LeVar Burton

All people hope Islam helps everything in life. Islam will make jobs. Islam will make freedom. Islam will make everything.

Ahmed Ali

Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work, instead of retirement, then that will be a huge help. If people can fit their work around caring responsibilities for the elderly, the disabled, then again that's very positive.

Theresa May

our triumphant age of plenty is riddled with darker feelings of doubt, cynicism, distrust, boredom and a strange kind of emptiness

Samuel Johnson
