If we invest in researching and developing energy technology, we'll do some real good in the long run, rather than just making ourselves feel good today. But climate change is not the only challenge of the 21st century, and for many other global problems we have low-cost, durable solutions.

He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.

George Sand

While President Bush likes to project an image of strength and courage, the real truth is that in the presence of his large financial contributors, he is a moral coward.

Al Gore

Our imperfections make us unique as surely as our strengths.

Toni Sorenson

Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.

Wm. Paul Young

If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.

George Byron

For want of a Nail the Shoe was lost; for want of a Shoe the Horse was lost; and for want of a Horse the Rider was lost; being overtaken and slain by the Enemy, all for want of Care about a Horse-shoe Nail.

Benjamin Franklin

All you'd have to do is get a sad look, and he'd try to do something for you.

Margaret O'Brien

Of what value is your life, unless you are willing to sacrifice it for those you love?

Wayne Gerard Trotman

We are the meeting place, an entity that's trying to connect faith and culture.

William P. Leahy

I noticed in the past, a lot of guys who like strong women, they really freak out if you're not strong 24/7. Or they complain about you being strong, then the moment you're not strong, they're like, 'Oh, no, no, no.'

Salma Hayek

Maybe, he said hesitantly, maybe there is a beast. The assembly cried out savagely and Ralph stood up in amazement. You, Simon? You believe in this? I don't know, said Simon. His heartbeats were choking him. But ... The storm broke. Sit down! Shut up! Take the conch! Sod you! Shut up! Ralph shouted. Hear him! He's got the conch! What I mean is . . . maybe it's only us. Nuts! That was from Piggy, shocked out of decorum. Simon went on. We could be sort of. . . . Simon became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind's essential illness. Inspiration came to him. What's the dirtiest thing there is? As an answer Jack dropped into the uncomprehending silence that followed it the one crude expressive syllable. Release was immense. Those littluns who had climbed back on the twister fell off again and did not mind. The hunters were screaming with delight.(note: The inherent evils within man appear once law and order are taken from society.)

William Golding, Lord of the Fli

I have the instruments, ideas, technology, computer techniques. We try to create or see something, which has not been known before - just to discover something together. This is always my dream.

Lennart Nilsson
