The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself.

Skaters by their very nature are urban guerillas: they make everyday use of the useless artifacts of the technological burden, and employ the handiwork of the government/corporate structure in a thousand ways that the original architects could never dream of.

Craig Stecyk

We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power.

Josiah Gilbert Holland

I became famous so quickly and so young - it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious, but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.

Gary Numan

Many people feel empty, a world that seemed so strong just collapsed. Forty years have been wasted on stupid strife for the sake of an unsuccessful experiment. The values gathered together have vanished, the strategies for survival have become ridiculous. And so forty years of our lives have become a story, a bad anecdote. But it may be possible to remember these adventures with a kind of irony.

George Konrad

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.

Winston Churchill

The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, and religious scripture a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.

Albert Einstein

There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

Mahatma Gandhi

Man is a tool-using Animal. Nowhere do you find him without tools; without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

Thomas Carlyle

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

Neil Gaiman

We term sleep a death by which we may be literally said to die daily; in fine, so like death, I dare not trust it without my prayers.

Sir Thomas Browne

A lie stands on one leg, truth on two

Benjamin Franklin
