If the history-deniers who doubt the fact of evolution are ignorant of biology, those who think the world began less than ten thousand years ago are worse than ignorant, they are deluded to the point of perversity. They are denying not only the facts of biology but those of physics, geology, cosmology, archaeology, history and chemistry as well.

Ordinary professionalism and 20 years' experience can accomplish a lot, but it can't access the hidden places.

Jeanette Winterson

I pity the people who don't like to read, because then they spend their whole lives stuck in this one world and dont get to discover any others.

Richard Denney

Show him who I am, so he will pity me instead of fearing me. And then we can turn pity into compassion, and compassion into understanding, and understanding into affection, and affection into love, and love into life, the life of our children, the life of the new self we will become together.

Orson Scott Card

There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. (1.1)

C.S. Lewis

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

H. L. Mencken

The significance of life is living.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Eminence without merit earns deference without esteem.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.

James Altucher

There is not a single Muslim leader today who has the courage and commitment to defend Islam and Muslims, they are all in awe of the United States and other Western powers, and are indebted to them.

Abu Bakar Bashir

The word question is derived from the Latin quarrier (to seek) which is the same root as the word for quest. A creative life is a continued quest, and good questions can be very useful guides. Most useful are open-ended questions; they allow for fresh unanticipated answers to reveal themselves.

You can delegate authority, but you can never delegate responsibility for delegating a task to someone else. If you picked the right man, fine, but if you picked the wrong man, the responsibility is yours -- not his.

Richard E Krafve

Growing older is not upsetting; being perceived as old is.

Kenny Rogers
