We can, if we so choose, wander aimlessly over the continent of the arbitrary. Rootless as some winged seed blown about on a serendipitous spring breeze.

The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable. It is a deep aesthetic passion to rank with the finest that music and poetry can deliver. It is truly one of the things that make life worth living and it does so, if anything, more effectively if it convinces us that the time we have for living is quite finite.

Richard Dawkins

I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.

Jessica Lange

This ain't fun. But you watch me, I'll get it done.

Jackie Robinson

The most beautiful thing you can wear is confidence.

Blake Lively

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

Edward de Bono

I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.

Mireille Enos

For all his learning or sophistication, man still instinctively reaches towards that force beyond. Only arrogance can deny its existence, and the denial falters in the face of evidence on every hand. In every tuft of grass, in every bird, in every opening bud, there it is.

Hal Borland

There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.

Friedrich von Schiller

Love is not altogether a , yet it has many points in common therewith

Thomas Carlyle

I don't think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn't at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

Jimmy Carter

Economics has been called the dismal science. Once you get to understand it, you may not find it so dismal, but you don't find it much of a science either.

Jean Chretien

Winning the Nobel Prize does not automatically qualify you to be commander in chief. I think George Bush has proved definitively that to be president, you don't need to care about science, literature or peace.

Stephen Colbert
