Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.

It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.

Pablo Picasso

I write in longhand on yellow legal pads.

Beverly Cleary

You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Lets tell young people the best books are yet to written; the best painting, the best government the best of everything is yet to be done by them.

John Erskine

What do you think has become of the young and old men?What do you think has become of the women andchildren?They are alive and well somewhere;The smallest sprouts show there is really no death,And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not waitat the end to arrest it,And ceased the moment life appeared.All goes onward and outward. . . .and nothing collapses,And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.

Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, S

Suffer no anxiety, for he who is a sufferer of anxiety becomes regardless of enjoyment of the world and the spirit, and contraction happens to his body and soul.

Herman Kahn

It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.

Leo Tolstoy

Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots.

Karl Kraus

As a philosopher, if I were speaking to a purely philosophic audience I should say that I ought to describe myself as an Agnostic, because I do not think that there is a conclusive argument by which one can prove that there is not a God. On the other hand, if I am to convey the right impression to the ordinary man in the street I think that I ought to say that I am an Atheist, because, when I say that I cannot prove that there is not a God, I ought to add equally that I cannot prove that there are not the Homeric gods.

Bertrand Russell
