We have no higher life that is really apart from other people. It is by imagining them that our personality is built up; to be without the power of imagining them is to be a low-grade idiot.

There can be no assumption that today's majority is right and the Amish and others like them are wrong. A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.

Warren Earl Burger

If I had children, I would be very selfish. I wouldn't be out doing things. But by not having kids, it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.

Linda Blair

Everythin' seems ter happen ter you, doesn' it?

J.K. Rowling

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

Ben Barnes

Let me give you some advice, b-----d. Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor. And it can never be used to hurt you.

George R.R. Martin

It is better to be safe than sorry.

Proverb

For eighteen hundred years, though perchance I have no right to say it, the New Testament has been written; yet where is the legislator who has wisdom and practical talent enough to avail himself of the light which it sheds on the science of legislation?

Henry David Thoreau

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.

Marsha Norman

Human knowledge has been changing from the word go and people in certain respects behave more rationally than they did when they didn't have it. They spend less time doing rain dances and more time seeding clouds.

Herbert Simon

The difference between psychiatrists and other mentally disturbed people is something like the relationship between concave and convex madness.

Karl Kraus

It always does seem to me that I am doing more work than I should do. It is not that I object to the work, mind you; I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me: the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.

Jerome K Jerome

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

Albert Einstein
