We have to get back to the beauty of just being alive in this present moment.

Here was an absolutely compelling road sign. Stay on the road of objective truth - there is objective being and objective value. Stay on the road. There is Truth. There is a Point and Purpose and Essence to it all. Keep searching. You will find it.

John Piper

All my life I have done nothing but feel and cultivate my feelings; all their lives they had done nothing but strive for petty goals, the trivial material prizes of American life. We shared a common tongue, but my language was a different language from theirs.

Richard Wright

How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.

Albert Einstein

Science is an organized pursuit of triviality.Art is a casual pursuit of significance.Let's keep it in perspective.

Vera Nazarian

The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.

Thucydides

I don't see one as bring better or more literate than the other and there's a real buzz to not only writing about a character I love like Superman, but also writing something that kids can enjoy.

Mark Millar

They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings steal a little and they throw you in jail. Steal a lot and then they make you king.

Bob Dylan

He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.

Thomas Carlyle

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adults themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.... When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

C.S. Lewis, On Three Ways of Wri

I'm a dirt person. I trust the dirt. I don't trust diamonds and gold.

Eartha Kitt

She was afraid, and the afraid, she realized, sought opportunities for bravery in love.
