The most foolish kind of a book is a kind of leaky boat on the sea of wisdom; some of the wisdom will get in anyhow.

When I was at college, I worked in a department store called Brit Home Stores, which is a pretty lackluster department store, selling clothes for middle-aged women. My job was to walk the floor and find anything that was damaged, take it to the store room and log it.

The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out.

Walter Benjamin

Being right half the time beats being half-right all the time.

Malcolm Stevenson Forbes

He had been bored, that's all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen - and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen, even loveless slavery, even war or death. Hurray then for funerals!

Albert Camus

Unlike any other leader in modern American history, we are led today by a president that has decided to pit Americans against each other.

Marco Rubio

Gods and men create one another, destroy one another, though by different means.

Tom Robbins

Every winner has scars.

Herbert N. Casson

There is no peace, I'm sorry to say. We find it. We lose it. We find it again. We lose it again.

Kurt Vonnegut

An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.

Albert Camus

I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.

Virginia Woolf

I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. These experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. I think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality.

Robert Lanza

Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.

Thornton Wilder
