As we divest ourselves of once familiar physical objects - digitize and dematerialize - we approach a 'Star Trek' future in which everything can be accessed from the fourth dimension with a few clicks or terse audibles.

Like a ten-ton cake, the world is more than anyone can eat at one sitting. Select a piece of it, then enjoy the party.

Samuel M Silver

I don't think that there is absolute freedom of the press. We operate under laws - against libel, for instance. The idea that there is some absolute press freedom is kind of a myth.

Bill Keller

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore...But let there be spaces in your togetherness...Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not of the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Kahlil Gibran

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

George Orwell

Now nature is not at variance with art, nor art with nature; they being both the servants of his providence. Art is the perfection of nature. Were the world now as it was the sixth day, there were yet a chaos. Nature hath made one world, and art another. In brief, all things are artificial; for nature is the art of God.

Sir Thomas Browne

Passion doesn't look beyond the moment of its existence.

Christian Nevell Bovee

One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Cato The Elder

The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he that gets the most out of life.

G. K. Chesterton

As to virtue . . . it is an act of the will, a habit which increases the quantity, intensity and quality of life. It builds up, strengthens and vivifies personality.

Alexis Carrel

The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fear, are near impotent.

Edward Dahlberg

Exaggeration is a blood relation to falsehood and nearly as blamable.

Hosea Ballou
