Fresh air is good if you do not take too much of it; most of the achievements and pleasures of life are in bad air.

Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act.

Lewis Mumford

Our true nationality is mankind.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.

Terry Hands

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

Jawaharlal Nehru

Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom.

Julia Ward Howe

All you Westerosi make a shame of loving. There is no shame in loving. If your septons say there is, your seven gods must be demons. In the isles we know better. Our gods gave us legs to run with, noses to smell with, hands to touch and feel. What mad cruel god would give a man eyes and tell him he must forever keep them shut, and never look at all the beauty in the world?

George R.R. Martin

Solo. Sí, esa es la palabra clave, la palabra más tremenda. Asesino no le llega a los talones, e infierno no es más que un pálido sinónimo.

Stephen King

To know God better is only to realize how impossible it is that we should ever know him at all. I know not which is more childish to deny him, or define him.

Samuel Butler

I tried marijuana once. I did not inhale.

William Jefferson Clinton

He grew away from old associations, and saw something new in life and humanity. Secondarily, he made close acquaintance with phenomena which he had before known but darkly - the seasons in their moods, morning and evening, night and noon, winds in their different tempers, trees, waters and mists, shades and silences, and the voices of inanimate things.

Thomas Hardy

But no one frees himself from being in love in three days.

Isabelle Adjani

The book salesman should be honored because he brings to our attention, as a rule, the very books we need most and neglect most.

Frank Crane
