Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.

Ramsey Clark

People travel for the same reason they collect works of art: because the best people do it

Aldous Huxley

All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.

Marcel Duchamp

Jean Claude Van Damme

Man's mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth.

Desiderius Erasmus

People believe in God because they don't have any other explanation for things that happen.

The only credential the city asked was the boldness to dream. For those who did, it unlocked its gates and its treasures, not caring who they were or where they came from.

Moss Hart

In this choice, as I look back over more than half a century, I can only follow - and trust - the same sort of instinct that one follows in the art of fiction.

Mary Augusta Ward

Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head.

Euripides

The republic, as I at least understand it, means association, of which liberty is only an element, a necessary antecedent. It means association, a new philosophy of life, a divine Ideal that shall move the world, the only means of regeneration vouchsafed to the human race.

Giuseppe Mazzini
