Graham Greene

The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.

Dwight D Eisenhower

Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.

Jean Rostand

But it all comes down to friendship, treating people right.

Ernie Banks

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.

C.S. Lewis

Aleister Crowley

A man who is at the top is a man who has the habit of getting to the bottom.

Joseph E. Rogers

Ask a scientist a very profound question on his science and he will be silent. Ask a religious person a very simple question on his religion and he will be frenzied.

Kedar Joshi

There is no salvation for us but to adopt Civilization and lift ourselves down to its level

Mark Twain

The right response to the non-problem of global warming is to have the courage to do nothing.

Christopher Monckton

I say that the true artist-seer, the heavenly fool who can and does produce beauty, is mainly dazzled to death by his own scruples, the blinding shapes and colors of his own sacred human conscience.
