Every man had his personal habits, passions, and impulses toward goodness, beauty, and truth.

In private life I never knew anyone interfere with other people's disputes but he heartily repented of it.

Thomas Carlyle

Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.

Graham Greene

It is a popular fact that nine-tenths of the brain is not used and, like most popular facts, it is wrong. Not even the most stupid Creator would go to the trouble of making the human head carry around several pounds of unnecessary gray goo if its only real purpose was, for example, to serve as a delicacy for certain remote tribesmen in unexplored valleys.

Terry Pratchett

Personally, I experience the greatest degree of pleasure in having contact with works of art. They furnish me with happy feelings of an intensity such as I cannot derive from other realms.

Albert Einstein

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.

John F. Kennedy

Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.

William Warburton

What was the point of spending your life with someone you were always looking for ways to decieve?

Erica Jong

All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.

Andrew Carnegie

Montana was naked, and so was Billy, of course. He had a tremendous wang, incidentally. You never know who'll get one.

Kurt Vonnegut

Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than in the non-performance of base ones.

Aristotle

In a land that knew only dark beauty, she was something of a hybrid no one dared touch. But the tall Arab did not appear in the least daunted by her abnormality. No, she saw his eyes. He was not daunted in the least.

V.S. Carnes

Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.

Alfred North Whitehead
