I just loved playing a man who was unafraid of making an idiot of himself in the process of falling in love. I found that admirable.

So I go to my first book signing, and these two girls came up and gave me a piece of paper: '10 reasons you should date our dad. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. He's a lawyer.' He didn't know what was going on. He didn't even know me. They called him, and he came down and asked me out that day. Now I'm dating their dad!

Meagan Spooner

If we don't change the direction we are headed, we will end up where we are going.

Jodi Picoult

It is better to be first with an ugly woman than the hundredth with a beauty.

Pearl Buck, The Good Earth, Chap

An educator should think of a child as a garderner thinks of a plant, as something to be made to grow by having the right soil and the right kind amount of water. If your roses fail to bloom, it does not occur to you to whip them, but you should try to find out what has been amiss in your treatment of them... The important thing is what the children do, and not what they do not do. And what they do, if it is to have value, must be a spontaneous expression of their own vital energy.

Bertrand Russell, Life Without F

Albert Borris

Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.

The Theory of Groups is a branch of mathematics in which one does something to something and then compares the result with the result obtained from doing the same thing to something else, or something else to the same thing.

James Newman

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
