The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.

The first rule to tinkering is to save all the parts.

Paul Erlich

Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst.

Walter Weckler

Know thyself, believe in God, and dare to dream.

John Thomas "Spider" Salley

Everything I am is because of my mom.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Schönheit ist kein Bedürfnis, sondern eine Verzückung.

Kahlil Gibran

Logos and branding are so important. In a big part of the world, people cannot read French or English--but are great in remembering signs

Karl Lagerfeld

The worth of men consists in their liability to persuasion. . . . Civilisation is the maintenance of social order, by its own inherent persuasiveness as embodying the nobler alternative. The recourse to force, however unavoidable, is a disclosure of the failure of civilisation, either in the general society or in a remnant of individuals. Thus in a live civilisation there is always an element of unrest. For sensitiveness to ideas means curiosity, adventure, change. Civilised order survives on its merits, and is transformed by its power of Recognizing its imperfections.

Alfred North Whitehead, Adventur

Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.

Rainer Maria Rilke

In actual fact, the female function is to relate, groove, love and be herself, irreplacable by anyone else....

Valerie Solanas

Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination

Mark Twain

I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God.
