I don't believe in any actual thinking God that marks the fall of every bird in Australia or every bug in India, a God that records all of our sins in a big golden book and judges us when we die - I don't want to believe in a God who would deliberately create bad people and then deliberately send them to roast in a hell He created-but I believe there has to be something

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.

Wendell Phillips

Men are not to be told anything they might find too painful; the secret depths of human nature, the sordid physicalities, might overwhelm or damage them. For instance, men often faint at the sight of their own blood, to which they are not accustomed. For this reason you should never stand behind one in the line at the Red Cross donor clinic.

Margaret Atwood

I haven't been very active in politics.

Clint Eastwood

After man there would be the mighty beetle civilisation, the bodies of whose members the cream of the Great Race would seize when the monstrous doom overtook the elder world. Later, as the earth's span closed, the transferred minds would again migrate through time and space -- to another stopping place in the bodies of the bulbous vegetable entities of Mercury. But there would be races after them, clinging pathetically to the cold planet and burrowing to its horror-filled core, before the utter end.

H.P. (Howard Phillips) Lovecraft

Each day of our life is the best opportunity.

Lamar Thompson

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.

Mark Twain

You know, I have found a new way to get high and stay spaced out for hours on end, and the government can't stop me... It's called senility.

Robert Anton Wilson

Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law and order, to efficiency of operation, to scientific advancement and the like.

William O. Douglas

We have reduced sales tax on food. Now we want it eliminated.

Joe Manchin

Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

Karen Horney

I know my dad is a big Internet freak, and he's been known to be a Wikileaker.

Anthony Kiedis

She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.

Toni Morrison
