You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.

An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person.

Joseph Addison

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire the other is to get it.

George Bernard Shaw

It is a very natural human trait to destroy that which frightens us.

Laurell K Hamilton

A dog has the soul of a philosopher.

Plato

At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.

Martha Plimpton

Time is the rider that breaks youth.

George Herbert

I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work.

Michael Jackson

I am a mom as well as a senator!

Patty Murray

The thing is plain. All that men really understand, is confined to a very small compass; to their daily affairs and experience; to what they have an opportunity to know, and motives to study or practice. The rest is affectation and imposture.

William Hazlitt

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Bertrand Russell

Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.

Tori Amos

It seemed romantic but also tragic - people would be winning but then lose it all, or crash but fight on, break bones but get back on their bikes and try to finish. Just getting to the end was seen as an achievement in itself.

David Millar
