Ideas don't get smaller when they're shared, they get bigger.

Mythmaking is the evolutionary enterprise of translating truths.

Terry Tempest Williams

Don't ignore the past, but deal with it, on your own pace. Once you deal with it, you are free of it and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don't, the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you.

Boris Kodjoe

The white man's dead forget the country of their birth when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful earth, for it is the mother of the red man.

Chief Seattle

Imagination is cheap as long as you don't have to worry about the details.

Daniel C. Dennett

It is a matter of perfect indifference where a thing originated; the only question is: Is it true in and for itself?

G. W. F. Hegel

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

Abraham Lincoln

The actor searches vainly for the sound of a vanished tradition, and critic and audience follow suit. We have lost all sense of ritual and ceremony -- whether it be connected with Christmas, birthdays or funerals -- but the words remain with us and old impulses stir in the marrow. We feel we should have rituals, we should do something about getting them and we blame the artists for not finding them for us. So the artist sometimes attempts to find new rituals with only his imagination as his source: he imitates the outer form of ceremonies, pagan or baroque, unfortunately adding his own trapping -- the result is rarely convincing. And after the years and years of weaker and waterier imitations we now find ourselves rejecting the very notion of a holy stage. It is not the fault of the holy that it has become a middle-class weapon to keep the children good.

Peter (Stephen Paul) Brook

After a number of years dating, we decided we were good partners.

Melinda Gates

The only way into truth is through one's own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation.

Simone Weil

Poetry is indispensable - if I only knew what for.

Jean Cocteau

Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

Henry David Thoreau

It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.

John von Neumann
