It is curious how, from time immemorial, man seems to have associated the idea of evil with beauty, shrunk from it with a sort of ghostly fear, while, at the same time drawn to it by force of its hypnotic attraction.

Destroy it. There may be a redistribution of the land, but the natural inequality of men soon re-creates an inequality of possessions and privileges, and raises to power a new minority with essentially the same instincts as the old.

Will Durant

Most men pray for power, the strength to do things. Few people pray for love, the quality to be someone.

Robert D. Foster

Love begets love, love knows no rules, this is same for all.

Virgil

Being a press secretary is like learning to type: You're hunting and pecking for a while and then you find yourself doing the touch system and don't realize it. You're speaking for the president without ever having to go to him.

F. L. Lucas

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

Samuel Johnson

Who can be patient in extremes?

William Shakespeare

One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.

George Eliot

Carl Sagan, Contact

Ever since the dawn of civilization, people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable. They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world. Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest. And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.

Stephen Hawking

Hopefully when you see the movie, Maybe you don't have the Orlando in your life, but you know that guy. He goes to church. He's down the street. He's one of the boys at the schoolyard. They exist.
