As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.

The question of bread for myself is a material question, but the question of bread for my neighbor is a spiritual question.

Nikolai Berdyaev

Organizing gods is like herding cats into straight lines. They don't take naturally to it.

Neil Gaiman

No matter how you're feeling, a little dog gunna love you.

Waka Flocka Flame

I suddenly felt like the Grinch feels when he discovers what Chrismas is all about. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a purpose being in the Navy. It wasn't about money and rank or prestige. It was about raising the flag. We do what we do because no one else can or will do it. We fight so others can sleep at night. And I had forgotten that.

Timothy Ciciora

Sometimes I even now feel like a stranger in my country. But I knew there would be problems because I had seen the world as a skater. And now? A lot of people in eastern Germany have lost jobs, rents went up, food costs went up, unemployment went to 20 percent. Freedom is good, but it is not easy.

Katarina Witt

Popular opinions, on subjects not palpable to sense, are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth.

John Stuart Mill

The whole disaster was only made possible by the fact that there already existed in the world a similar megalomania, allied to this one in race, to wit, the Jewish.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession - a property entirely our own.

Samuel Smiles

Alliance - in international politics, the union of two thieves who have their hands so deeply inserted in each other's pockets that they cannot separately plunder a third.

Ambrose Bierce

Sometimes two people have to fall apart, to realize how much they need to fall back together.

Colleen Hoover

Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He's convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.

Pablo Picasso

Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.

Albert Einstein
