Every woman is supposed to have the same set of motives, or else to be a monster.

Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father's curse, mother's moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.

Emma Goldman

Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence.

Hannah Arendt

The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.

John Locke

Truth is child of Time

John Ford

Modern science has been a voyage into the unknown, with a lesson in humility waiting at every stop. Many passengers would rather have stayed home.

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot

You got to fight for quality art and equality and all the things that we're fighting for, the things we believe in. Choice and preference and all those things that we support. We don't want to give up that fight. You got to keep doing it.

Christopher Cross

I can prove at any time that my education tried to make another person out of me than the one I became. It is for the harm, therefore, that my educators could have done me in accordance with their intentions that I reproach them; I demand from their hands the person I now am, and since they cannot give him to me, I make of my reproach and laughter a drumbeat sounding in the world beyond.

Franz Kafka

The supremacy of expediency is being refuted by time and truth. Time is an essential dimension of existence defiant of man's power, and truth reigns in supreme majesty, unrivaled, inimitable, and can never be defeated.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Peace begins with a smile.

Mother Teresa

Stay focused and stay determined. Don't look to anyone else to be your determination - have self-determination. It will take you very far.

Justice Smith

Irony is an insult conveyed in the form of a compliment.

Edwin P. Whipple

It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.

Jason Derulo
