There is a circularity here I do not doubt. I am defending the Bible by the Bible. Circularity of a kind is unavoidable when one seeks to defend an ultimate standard of truth, for one's defense must itself be accountable to that standard.

In a word, we may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish.The few who might want to learn will be prevented; who are they to overtop their fellows? And anyway the teachers--or should I say, nurses?--will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturable conceit and incurable ignorance among men. The little vermin themselves will do it for us.

C.S. Lewis

It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window.

Raymond Chandler

A coxcomb is ugly all over with the effectation of a fine gentleman.

Samuel Johnson

I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin' wealthy.

Jim Carrey

The thing I thought about doing it was it's Comic Relief and you've got to be funny. So although I did try to sing properly it obviously has hilarious results when you can't sing.

From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.

Victor Hugo

In the spring of life, in the flower of youth, Everything is bright and new.In the summer of life, Time of growth and change, Each day brings new dreams to pursue.In the autumn of life,

C.A. Schlea, The Fifth Season

A good orator is pointed and impassioned.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

When you give each other everything, it becomes an even trade. Each wins all.

Lois McMaster Bujold

Faith... is the art of holding on to things your reason once accepted, despite your changing moods.

C.S. Lewis

The present structure of rewards in high schools produces a response on the part of an adolescent social system which effectively impedes the process of education.

James S. Coleman

I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks.
