Science Fiction: Any scientific acclaim that omits God.

Johnny Hart

Bad religion is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists, scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth.

Rupert Sheldrake

David Millar

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

I have very large ideas of the mineral wealth of our Nation. I believe it practically inexhaustible. It abounds all over the western country, from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific, and its development has scarcely commenced. Immigration, which even the war has not stopped, will land upon our shores hundred of thousands more per year from overcrowded Europe. I intend to point them to the gold and silver that waits for them in the West. Tell the miners from me, that I shall promote their interests to the utmost of my ability; because their prosperity is the prosperity of the Nation, and we shall prove in a very few years that we are indeed the treasury of the world.

Abraham Lincoln

Wallace Shawn

Cassandra Clare

Stop waiting for the perfect day or the perfect moment... Take THIS day, THIS moment and lead it to perfection.

Steve Maraboli

When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.

Mark Twain

It is a clear gain to sacrifice pleasure in order to avoid pain.

Arthur Schopenhauer
