The more you get into any religion, it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people, and how you get out of this 'I, me, mine' type of thing.

At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.

Steve Maraboli

...observe the difference between your attitude to illusions and mine. You have to defend the religious illusion with all your might. If it becomes discredited - and indeed the threat to it is great enough - then your world collapses. There is nothing left for you but to despair of everything, of civilization and the future of mankind. From that bondage I am, we are, free. Since we are prepared to renounce a good part of our infantile wishes, we can bear it if a few of our expectations turn out to be illusions.

Sigmund Freud

Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and in-human to impose the Jews on the Arabs.

Mahatma Gandhi

Grant what thou commandest and then command what thou wilt.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

My films don't give you an easy ride. I can see that. The sense I get is that people have quite a physical experience with them. They feel afterwards that they've really been through something.

Andrea Arnold

Fault always lies in the same place: with him weak enough to lay blame.

Stephen King

He was a handsome man, not in the way of mercurial Cesare or the false angel, Morozzi, but with a calm steadiness that sat well upon him and shown in everything he did. The creations he drew from fire and air were possessed of great delicacy, but I was coming to realize that the man himself was as an oak, unshakable in the greatest storm.

Sara Poole

Attempts to connect men's circumstances too closely with their literary productions are usually, I believe, unsuccessful.

C.S. Lewis

Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul.

Alexander Pope

The world is filled with folly and sin, And Love must cling, where it can, I say: For Beauty is easy enough to win; But one is n't loved every day.

Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl o

Deprived of their newspapers or a novel, reading-addicts will fall back onto cookery books, on the literature which is wrapped around bottles of patent medicine, on those instructions for keeping the contents crisp which are printed on the outside of boxes of breakfast cereals. On anything.

Aldous Huxley

Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
