My girlfriend bought me a down jacket, she said it fit my personality.

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

Marcus Aurelius

If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I'd still swim. And I'd despise the one who gave up.

Abraham Maslow

During the Vietnam War, Abbie Hoffman announced that the new high was banana peels taken rectally. So then FBI scientists stuffed banana peels up their asses to find out if this was true or not.

Kurt Vonnegut

In every power, of which taste is the foundation, excellence is pretty fairly divided among the sexes.

Jane Austen

For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

William Shakespeare

Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving in words evidence of the fact.

George Eliot

Do not resist the evil-doer and take no part in doing so, either in the violent deeds of the administration, in the law courts, the collection of taxes, or above all in soldiering, and no one in the world will be able to enslave you.

Leo Tolstoy

Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came human beings; they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate--for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.

Albert Camus

Some think it the historian's business to penetrate beyond this apparent confusion and heterogeneity, and to grasp in a single intuition the 'spirit' or 'meaning' of his period. With some hesitation, and with much respect for the great men who have thought otherwise, I submit that this is exactly what we must refrain from doing.

C.S. Lewis

He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander.

Napoleon Bonaparte

God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that he is so.

Plotinus

There are no limits to our future if we don't put limits on our people.

Jack Kemp
