If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.

My experiences have taught me that things rarely improve with a simple change of scenery.

Pittacus Lore

Mark Twain

A cannonball travels only two thousand miles an hour; light travels two hundred thousand miles a second. Such is the superiority of Jesus Christ over Napoleon.

Victor Hugo

Though the names karma yoga and sannyasa are different, the truth at the heart of both is the same.

Vinoba Bhave

If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.

Audrey Hepburn

I'm not a teacher: only a fellow-traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead -- ahead of myself as well as you.

George Bernard Shaw

Eleanor Clark

When you have fear then the world is a big place. When you have courage then the world shrinks.

Deepak Chopra

I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding—joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid leaves with disgust.

Jane Austen, The narrator, in No

It is the fault of our rhetoric that we cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other.
