Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! And, lips, O you the doors of breath, Seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!

The change of mind I am talking about involves not just a change of knowledge, but also a change of attitude toward our essential ignorance, a change in our bearing in the face of mystery. The principle of ecology, if we will take it to heart, should keep us aware that our lives depend on other lives and upon processes and energies in an interlocking system that, though we can destroy it, we can neither fully understand nor fully control. And our great dangerousness is that, locked in our selfish and myopic economies, we have been willing to change or destroy far beyond our power to understand.

Wendell Berry, A Continuous Harm

The future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed.

William Gibson

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

Groucho Marx

Jennifer Aniston

There was this about vampires : they could never look scruffy. Instead, they were... what was the word... deshabille. It meant untidy, but with bags and bags of style.

Terry Pratchett

Socrate considérait que c'est un mal qui n'est pas loin de la folie, de s'imaginer que l'on possède une vertu, alors qu'on ne la possède pas. Certes, une pareille illusion est plus dangereuse que l'illusion contraire qui consiste ? croire que l'on souffre d'un défaut, d'un vice.Deuxième Considération intempestive, ch. 6

Friedrich Nietzsche

Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.

Virginia Woolf

What people call insincerity is simply a method by which we can multiply our personalities.
