Change occurs in direct proportion to dissatisfaction, but dissatisfaction never changes.

When the honour is given to that scientist personally the happiness is sweet indeed. Science is, on the whole, an informal activity, a life of shirt sleeves and coffee served in beakers.

George Porter

Is the patience of the American people that long suffering? Is there no outrage left in the country?

Andrew Greeley

...Sirius had never kept him waiting before...Sirius had risked everything, always, to see Harry, to help him...If Sirius was not reappearing out of that archway when Harry was yelling for him as though his life depended on it, the only possible explanation was that he could not come back...That he really was...

I live in a kind of gay bubble. I live in a gay house, I drive a gay car. I eat gay food.

Julian Clary

The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

Julia Child

I had life threats, because people accused me of approaching Brando as God and his son was Jesus. I literally had people saying my blood would run in the streets for doing that.

Richard Donner

We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

Marco Rubio

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creatures through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.

Henry Beston

Learning is finding out what you already know.

Richard Bach

An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.

John Ruskin

When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise. They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny.

Bell Hooks

The knowledge of the theory of logic has no tendency whatever to make men good reasoners.

Thomas B. Macaulay
