It is the first of all problems for a man to find out what kind of work he is to do in this universe.

Thomas Carlyle

There is no course of life so weak and Scottish as that which is ordered by orders, method, and discipline.

Michel de Montaigne

Ideas are these disembodied life forms, they don’t have a form, but they have a will. All they want is to be made manifest.

Billy Joel

History is a vast early warning system.

Norman Cousins

There's only one free person in this society, and he is white and male.

Hazel Scott

Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers.

Robert Half

And what is religion, you might ask. It's a technology of living.
