Knowledge is two-fold, and consists not only in an affirmation of what is true, but in the negation of that which is false.

?'If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!

Henry David Thoreau

You feel that nothing you have learned has put down roots, that while you're capable of entering the magical universe, you cannot remain submerged in it. You feel that all of this may be nothing but a fantasy dreamed up by people to fend off their fear of death.

Paulo Coelho

A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.

John Muir

Remember that there is an abundance of happiness that can be found in the smallest of places.

Steve Maraboli

It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere... Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Albert Einstein

Gentleness is the antidote for cruelty.

Phaedrus

Four snakes gliding up and down a hollow for no purpose that I could see not to eat, not for love, but only gliding.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

He that gives good advice builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example builds with both.

Francis Bacon

Mówi?, ?e kiedy rodzi si? cz?owiek z nieba spada dusza i rozpada si? na dwie cz??ci. Jedna trafia do kobiety, druga do m??czyzny... Sens ?ycia polega na dnalezieniu tej drugiej po?owy.Po?owy swojej duszy.Po?owy siebie.

Paulo Coelho

I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.

Vera Farmiga

And speak to people good [words]

Quran 2 83

We're all of us sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life!
