A feeble body weakens the mind.

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Rudyard Kipling

When you're an artist, there's always a moment in your life when you think you're not inspired and instead of doing things and instead of travel and instead of falling in love, you're just depressed, so you don't move, so you don't change. So you're not inspired.

Melanie Laurent

Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.

Victor Hugo

Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value.

Thornton Wilder

I love to play bid whist as much as I love football.

Emmitt Smith

In every way that counted, I was dead. Inside somewhere maybe I was screaming and weeping and howling like an animal, but that was another person deep inside, another person who had no access to the lips and face and mouth and head, so on the surface I just shrugged and smile and kept moving. If I could have physically passed away, just let it all go, like that, without doing anything, stepped out of life as easily as walking through a door I would have done. But I was going to sleep at night and waking in the morning, disappointed to be there and resigned to existence.

Neil Gaiman

I'm writing a review of three books on feminism and science, and it's about social constructionism. So I would say I'm a social constructionist, whatever that means.

Clifford Geertz

No man tastes pleasures truly, who does not earn them by previous business; and few people do business well, who do nothing else.

Lord Chesterfield

Freedom is the right to one's dignity as a man.

Archibald MacLeish

My work and my family are very important to me.

Stephen Hawking

Clearly, some creative thinking is badly needed if humans are to have a future beyond Earth. Returning to the Moon may be worthy and attainable, but it fails to capture the public's imagination. What does get people excited is the prospect of a mission to Mars.

Paul Davies

I understand now that the vulnerability I've always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can't experience life without feeling life. What I've learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it's a strength.

Elisabeth Shue
