Humanity does not suffer from the disease of wrong beliefs but humanity suffers from the contagious nature of the lack of belief. If you have no magic with you it is not because magic does not exist but it is because you do not believe in it. Even if the sun shines brightly upon your skin every day, if you do not believe in the sunlight, the sunlight for you does not exist.

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

Ani DiFranco

The smaller the head, the bigger the dream.

Austin O'Malley

I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech, to use any information and technology, to purchase and use recreational drugs, to enjoy and purchase so-called 'vices', to be free of intruders, and to privacy.

Bram Cohen

The frustrating part of it is that you're generally known for what you did last. I've had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that, a lot of the time, the general public doesn't see unless you're at a film festival or you're into that kind of movie.

Hayden Panettiere

I believe that the public temper is such that the voters of the land are prepared to support the party which gives the best promise of administering the government in the honest, simple, and plain manner which is consistent with its character and purposes. They have learned that mystery and concealment in the management of their affairs cover tricks and betrayal. The statesmanship they require consists in honesty and frugality, a prompt response to the needs of the people as they arise, and a vigilant protection of all their varied interests.

Grover Cleveland

It is the weak and confused who worship the pseudosimplicities of brutal directness.

Marshall McLuhan

A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.

Vernon Howard

Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift From

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

Quentin Crisp

Light died in the west. Night and tears took the Nation. The star of Water drifted among the clouds like a murderer softly leaving the scene of the crime.

Terry Pratchett

What a cruel reflection that a rich country cannot long be a free one.

Thomas Jefferson

In this worldlove has no coloryet how deeply my bodyis stained by yours.
