An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own existence. It is incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and therefore cannot be argued with. It inevitably dooms itself to calamities that must strike it dead.

There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.

I feel like writing a book there's always a version in your head that's an amazing version, but then you write the version that you can write.

We learn the inner secret of happiness when we learn to direct our inner drives, our interest and our attention to something besides ourselves.

Ethel Percy Andrus

I made a movie to explain to the American public what had been achieved in regards to disarmament of Iraq and why inspectors aren't in Iraq today and detailing the very complex, murky history of interaction between Iraq, the United Nations and the United States. It is most definitely not a pro-Iraq movie. It is a pro-truth movie.

Scott Ritter

I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.

This strange disease of modern life, with its sick hurry, its divided aims.

Matthew Arnold

Information on the Internet is subject to the same rules and regulations as conversation at a bar.

George Lundberg

There is more difference in the quality of our pleasures than in the amount.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The teacher who would be true to his mission and accomplish the most good, must give prominence to moral as well as intellectual instruction.

Sheldon Jackson

There is an old illusion. It is called good and evil.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it's going to work or whether I'm going to fall flat on my face.

Johnny Depp
