Every legend, moreover, contains its residuum of truth, and the root function of language is to control the universe by describing it.

No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high.

Harriet Du Autermont

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?

Cyril Connolly

I am sure my fellow-scientists will agree with me if I say that whatever we were able to achieve in our later years had its origin in the experiences of our youth and in the hopes and wishes which were formed before and during our time as students.

Felix Bloch

I know I will die in a car crash.

Katie Price

I went to an amazing school in Brooklyn called St. Anne's that's a really kind of creative hot bed.

Lena Dunham

Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph; killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.

Leonard Cohen

The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.

T. S. Eliot

I shall always be a priest of love.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

During the crusades all were religious mad, and now all are mad for want of it.

Captain J. G. Stedman

It's nice, being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success, so that makes it a bunch easier.

Bode Miller

The essence of living is discovering. Indeed, it is the joy of discovery that makes life worth the effort.
