Elena Kagan

An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it.

Maurice Maeterlinck

Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data -- i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion.

Jean Baudrillard

Two things only the people desire: bread, and the circus games.

Juvenal

Charles E. Wilson

I felt as if I was the only person awake in a city of sleepwalkers. That's an illusion, of course. When you walk through a crowd of strangers it's next door to impossible not to imagine that they're all waxworks, but probably they're thinking just the same about you.

George Orwell

Adrian Edmondson

Leon Kass

Psychology has a long past, but only a short history

Herman Ebbinghaus

Jonah Hill

I play, in real life, Kim, who is actually Marshall Mathers ex-wife as of now. She lies and says she is pregnant because she really wants to keep him and he figures her out.

Taryn Manning

Thou art my single day, God lends to leaven What were all earth else, with a feel of heaven.

Robert Browning
