Child psychology and animal psychology are of relatively slight importance, as compared with the sciences which deal with the corresponding physiological problems of ontogeny and phylogeny.

Beyond all sciences, philosophies, theologies, and histories, a child's relentless inquiry is truly all it takes to remind us that we don't know as much as we think we know.

Criss Jami

A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.

George Bernard Shaw

I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men.

George Eliot

I make no vows. I take my chance.... It means that I fear certainty as you fear uncertainty. It means that nothing is certain but uncertainty. If I bind the future I bind my will. If I bind my will I strangle creation.

George Bernard Shaw

I am the truth, since I am part of what is real, but neither more nor less than those around me.

Wallace Stevens

I really, really love Hilary Clinton. I think she's very cool. She's out there and she's involved.

Sandra Bernhard

We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.

Albert Einstein

In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.

Henry Ward Beecher

Maybe I fear things going wrong so much that I pre-empt them by not getting excited about them when they appear to be. going well.

Jack Dee

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.

William Gurnall

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I mean a man whose hopes and aims may sometimes lie (as most men's sometimes do, I dare say) above the ordinary level, but to whom the ordinary level will be high enough after all if it should prove to be a way of usefulness and good service leading to no other. All generous spirits are ambitious, I suppose, but the ambition that calmly trusts itself to such a road, instead of spasmodically trying to fly over it, is of the kind I care for.

Charles Dickens
