Fifty percent of life in the N.B.A. is sex. The other fifty percent is money.

I think the whole reason for my life is in there somewhere.

Chaka Khan

Evolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn't take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.

Terry Pratchett

The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.

Anais Nin

I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.

Margaret Cho

Croatia is an amazing place.

Jean Reno

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.

Thomas Szasz

The great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land.

Arthur Erickson

Aziraphale collected books. If he were totally honest with himself he would have to have admitted that his bookshop was simply somewhere to store them. He was not unusual in this. In order to maintain his cover as a typical second-hand book seller, he used every means short of actual physical violence to prevent customers from making a purchase. Unpleasant damp smells, glowering looks, erratic opening hours - he was incredibly good at it.

Terry Pratchett

I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.

Conrad Black

It would be a narrow conception of jurisprudence to confine the notion of 'laws' to what is found written on the statute books, and to disregard the gloss which life has written upon it.

Felix Frankfurter

In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.
