I found her lying on her stomach, her hind legs stretched out straight, and her front feet folded back under her chest. She had laid her head on his grave. I saw the trail where she had dragged herself through the leaves. The way she lay there, I thought she was alive. I called her name. She made no movement. With the last ounce of strength in her body, she had dragged herself to the grave of Old Dan.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.

Maya Angelou

Since evolution became fashionable, the glorification of Man has taken a new form.

Bertrand Russell

Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want.

Marsha Sinetar

I've always wanted to do a family movie.

Adam Sandler

Every one is a genius, more or less. No one is so physically sound that no part of him will be even a little unsound, and no one is so diseased but that some part of him will be healthy -- so no man is so mentally and morally sound, but that he will be in part both mad and wicked; and no man is so mad and wicked but he will be sensible and honourable in part. In like manner there is no genius who is not also a fool, and no fool who is not also a genius.

Samuel Butler, Erewhon

Interesting things come your way but as you get older, your lifestyle changes. I don't want to travel I don't want to be in a hotel room away from my family.

Gary Oldman

When asked whether or not we are Marxists, our position is the same as that of a physicist or a biologist when asked if he is a Newtonian, or if he is a Pasteurian.There are truths so evident, so much a part of people's knowledge, that it is now useless to discuss them.

Che Guevara

Good men have the fewest fears. He has but one great fear who fears to do wrong; he has a thousand who has overcome it.

Christian Nevell Bovee

Los Angeles is such a town of show business, and I'm a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult - it's the beast that must be fed. There's this big wheel of pictures and articles that goes around, and you get pinned on it.

Julia Roberts

Most schools have only a microwave or deep fryer, hardly the tools needed to feed our children real, fresh food.

Mark Hyman

What makes you think that human beings are sentient and aware? There's no evidence for it. Human beings never think for themselves, they find it too uncomfortable. For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told - and become upset if they are exposed to any different view. The characteristic human trait is not awareness but conformity, and the characteristic result is religious warfare. Other animals fight for territory or food; but, uniquely in the animal kingdom, human beings fight for their beliefs. The reason is that beliefs guide behavior, which has evolutionary importance among human beings. But at a time when our behavior may well lead us to extinction, I see no reason to assume we have any awareness at all. We are stubborn, self-destructive conformists. Any other view of our species is a self-congratulatory delusion.

Michael Crichton, The Lost World

The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.

Christopher Hitchens
