A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next, but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next.

We cannot define these things without obscuring them, while we speak of them with all assurance....our doubts cannot take away all the clearness, nor our own natural lights chase away all the darkness.

Blaise Pascal

All that mankind has done, thought or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.

Thomas Carlyle

Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.

William Shakespeare

Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.

Jil Sander

All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.

Francis Thompson

There are people in our society who should be separated and discarded. I think its one of the tendencies of the liberal community to feel that every person in a nation of over 200 million people can be made into a productive citizen. Im realist enough to believe this cant be. Were always going to have our prisons, were always going to have our places of preventive detention for psychopaths, and were always going to have a certain number of people in our community who have no desire to achieve or who have no desire to even fit in an amicable way with the rest of society. And these people should be separated from the community, not in a callous way but they should be separated as far as any idea that their opinions shall have any effect on the course we follow.

Spiro T. Agnew

What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Scientists often have a naive faith that if only they could discover enough facts about a problem, these facts would somehow arrange themselves in a compelling and true solution

Theodosius Dobzhansky

If you are prepared, you will be confident, and will do the job.

Tom Landry

My first attempt at a kiss was in fifth grade, but it didn't go so well. Later, I used Boyz II Men and Jodeci songs to come on to girls. I had more success.

John Legend

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama there's no device, It's just about a human being.

Jack Nicholson

The book was turned to the page with Anne Frank's name, but what got me about it was the fact that right beneath her name there were four Aron Franks. FOUR. Four Aron Franks without museums, without historical markers, without anyone to mourn them. I silently resolved to remember and pray for the four Aron Franks as long as I was around.

John Green
