Give us that grand word woman once again, and let's have done with lady; one's a term full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; and one's a word for lackeys.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.

Albert Einstein

The experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is the great glory as well as the great threat of science that everything which is in principle possible can be done if the intention to do it is sufficiently resolute.

Peter Medawar

The state's interest in marriage is stability. Generally speaking, polygamy does not work for stability. Inherent in the whole polygamous movement is a deep and abiding misogyny and denigration of women. So polygamy is objectionable on lots of grounds.

Gene Robinson

Between the years of ninety-two and a hundred and two, however, we shall be the ribald, useless, drunken, outcast person we have always wished to be. We shall have a long white beard and long white hair; we shall not walk at all, but recline in a wheel chair and bellow for alcoholic beverages; in the winter we shall sit before the fire with our feet in a bucket of hot water, a decanter of corn whiskey near at hand, and write ribald songs against organized society... We look forward to a disreputable, vigorous, unhonoured, and disorderly old age.

Don Marquis, The Almost Perfect

Architecture theory is very interesting.

David Byrne

A half-truth is usually less than half of that.

Bern Williams

They sicken of the calm, who knew the storm.

Dorothy Parker

Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment.

Owen Felltham

Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tone the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it -- who can say this is not greatness?

William Makepeace Thackeray

I want to be a cool mom.
