Eliot Spitzer

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Not everybody goes to movies to get their life changed.

Samuel L. Jackson

Science... never solves a problem without creating ten more.

George Bernard Shaw

Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion.

Lorraine Anderson

E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White, Some

There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth.

Friedrich Nietzsche

One lesson we learn early, that in spite of seeming difference, men are all of one pattern.

In fact, the only sin which we never forgive in each other is difference of opinion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Alexander Herzen

Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.

Wilhelm Reich

A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.

Friedrich Nietzsche
