I've stayed away from Twitter for a long time because I sort of didn't trust myself with such an intimate but very public way of relating to the world, but I feel like I've studied it enough.

Ignorance is the peace of life.

Proverb

What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.

William Shakespeare

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle...

Napoleon Hill

I run in the morning, lift weights in the afternoon, basketball training at night, and then lift weights again at night.

Lil' Romeo

We are confronted with the incompatible claims of Jerusalem and Athens to our allegiance. We are open to both and willing to listen to each. We ourselves are not wise but we wish to become wise. We are seekers for wisdom, philo-sophoi.

Leo Strauss

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid ... Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.

Bertrand Russell

Say what you like about my bloody murderous government,' I says, 'but don't insult me poor bleedin' country.

Edward Abbey

I think we love bacon because it has all the qualities of an amazing sensory experience. When we cook it, the sizzling sound is so appetizing, the aroma is maddening, the crunch of the texture is so gratifying and the taste delivers every time.

Alexandra Guarnaschelli

Spiritual and religious traditions, when shaped by the feminine principle, affirm the cyclical phrases of our lives and the wisdom each phase brings, the sacredness of our bodies and the body of the Earth

Patrick Wynne

A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.

Liberty Hyde Bailey

In some countries we have had the right to vote for less than 100 years, so the entry of women into political leadership has caused a tsunami.

Iveta Radicova

ou nous ne sommes pas libres et Dieu tout-puissant est responsable du mal. Ou nous sommes libres et responsables mais Dieu n'est pas tout-puissant. Toutes les subtilités d'écoles n'ont rien ajouté ni soustrait au tranchant de ce paradoxe.

Albert Camus
