The immense majority of human biographies are a gray transit between domestic spasm and oblivion.

The night is just a part of the day

Paulo Coelho

Mystery is not profoundness.

Charles Caleb Colton

The truth is that every intelligent man, as you know, dreams of being a gangster and of ruling over society by force alone. As it is not so easy as the detective novels might lead one to believe, one generally relies on politics and joins the cruelest party.What does it matter, after all, if by humiliating one's mind one succeeds in dominating every one? I discovered in myself sweet dreams of oppression.

Albert Camus

The Sandinista government became consumed with fighting a war of survival. They were up against the biggest superpower in the world.

Bianca Jagger

At the door of life, by the gate of breath,There are worse things waiting for men than death.

A.C. Swinburne The Triumph Of Ti

If we use common words on a great occasion, they are the more striking, because they are felt at once to have a particular meaning, like old banners, or everyday clothes, hung up in a sacred place.

George Eliot

Science is but an image of the truth.

Francis Bacon

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.

John F. Kennedy

Alas for love, if thou wert all, And naught beyond, O Earth!

Felicia Hemans

The trap had a ghastly perfection

Stephen King

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.

Thomas Carlyle

But I look at failure as education. In that respect, I am so well-educated.
