Everyone needs a place where they can go to just ponder for a while. Silence is important; it's the only time you can hear the whispering of truth.

Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your emancipation. You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields -- discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West -- superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.

Henrik Ibsen

Always be nice to people on the way up; because you'll meet the same people on the way down.

Wilson Mizner

I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.

David Hobson

And she never could remember; and ever since that day what Lucy means by a good story is a story which reminds her of the forgotten story in the Magician's Book.

C.S. Lewis

Love is blind -- marriage is the eye-opener.

Pauline Thomason

Love is wise; hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way. But if we are to live together, and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.

Bertrand Russell

She wished such words unsaid with all her heart

Jane Austen

Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.

Albert Camus

Everything in woman hath a solution. It is called pregnancy.

Friedrich Nietzsche

As long as men are liable to die and are desirous to live, a physician will be made fun of, but he will be well paid.

Jean de la Bruyere

The desire to hit a big home run is dominating the music business.

Billy Corgan

?Using his burgeoning intelligence, this most successful of all mammals has exploited the environment to produce food for an ever increasing population. Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it's time we controlled the population to allow the survival of the environment.

David Attenborough
