The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

If people are going to judge me without fully understanding the content of my character, then their opinion just isn't worth it.

Jazz Jennings

Nature's lay idiot, I taught thee to love.

John Donne

I wasn't sure about that, but one never knows. Sometimes a neighborhood, like a culture or civilization, is strong enough to absorb and acculturate any number of newcomers. But I don't know if that's true around here any longer. The outward forms and appearances look the same - [...]- but the substance has been altered.

Nelson Demille

I am a peace supporting Jew.

Alan Dershowitz

The greatest manager has a knack for making ballplayers think they are better than they think they are.

Reggie Jackson

Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.

Meister Eckhart

My father was something of a rainbow-chaser.

Marc Davis

Why was the human race created? Or at least why wasn't something creditable created in place of it? God had His opportunity. He could have made a reputation. But no, He must commit this grotesque folly -- a lark which must have cost Him a regret or two when He came to think it over and observe effects.

Mark Twain

Many cats are the death of the mouse.

Kaspar Hauser

Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth to diverge. Time is simply the yardstick of our separation. If we are particles in a sea of distance, exploded from an original whole, then there is a science to our solitude. We are lonely in proportion to our years.

Ian Caldwell, Dustin Thomason

Political economy has only become a science since it has been confined to the results of inductive investigation.

Jean-Baptiste Say

An unforgiving eye, and a damned disinheriting countenance!

Richard Brinsley Sheridan
