We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.

I've got no education.

Andrea Arnold

The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain to show them we love them not when we feel like it, but when they do.

Nan Fairbrother

I woke up on May 15, 1991, the day of my Barnard graduation, and I said to myself, 'By the end of today you will decide what you want to do with the rest of your life.'

Alexandra Guarnaschelli

Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.

Albert Camus

The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.

George Bernard Shaw

This is the power of myth: that we can experience invisible spiritual realities and truths greater than visible, material things in story form.

John Granger

An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today.

Laurence J. Peter

Before borrowing money from a friend decide which you need most.

Proverb

If you take 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of somebody who creates a new language in film by what he was able to accomplish with art direction, photography, lighting, etc., it is still a gold standard for science fiction.

Matthew Modine

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Henry David Thoreau

Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other.

Elie Wiesel, Nobel lecture, Oslo

...although both the Academics and the Pyrrhonian Skeptics say that they believe some things, yet here too the difference between the two philosophies is quite plain. For the word believe has different meanings; it means not to resist but simply to follow without any strong impulse or inclination, as the boy is said to believe his tutor; but sometimes it means to assent to a thing of deliberate choice and with a kind of sympathy due to strong desire, as when the incontinent man believes him who approves of an extravagant mode of life. Since, therefore, Carneades and Cleitomachus declare that a strong inclination accompanies their credence
