What happened at Hiroshima was not only that a scientific breakthrough had occurred and that a great part of the population of a city had been burned to death, but that the problem of the relation of the triumphs of modern science to the human purposes of man had been explicitly defined.

Nothing else in the world...not all the armies...is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

A man of knowledge chooses a path with a heart and follows it and then he looks and rejoices and laughs and then he sees and knows.

Carlos Castenada

ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.

Dakota Fanning

Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind.

Mary Baker Eddy

After 'Freaks and Geeks,' I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks, every single mole on my body. They tried to cover them on my first two episodes of 'Dawson's Creek,' and it just looked ridiculous, so I had to put my foot down. But it's not something I'm insecure about.

David Brenner

Few of the many wise apothegms which have been uttered have prevented a single foolish action.

Thomas B. Macaulay

Faith Kasham John

Edward Edwards

I took piano for many years. I kicked and screamed through all of my lessons, but my mom really insisted.

Kristin Kreuk

He would have liked his own funeral if he could have seen it. It was small and quiet, and really not at all pompous, as Michael had feared it might be. 'The dead,' he had said once, 'need nothing from the living, and the living can give nothing to the dead.'

Essentially a romantic, he had put away the trappings of romance, although he had loved them deeply and never known.
