Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again.

Criss Jami

I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.

Ani DiFranco

Richard Dawkins

When a contradiction is impossible to resolve except by a lie, then we know that it is really a door.

There is no sudden leap into the stratosphere. There is only advancing step by step, slowly and tortuously, up the pyramid towards your goals.

Ben Stein

There never was an idea started that woke up men out of their stupid indifference but its originator was spoken of as a crank.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

To swear off making mistakes is very easy. All you have to do is to swear off having ideas.

Leo Burnett

All problems are finally scientific problems.

George Bernard Shaw

We go by the major vote, and if the majority are insane, the sane must go to the hospital.

Horace Mann

Some of our weakness is born in us, some of it comes through education; it is a big question as to which gives us the most trouble.

Johann von Goethe

Oh who can tell the range of joy or set the bounds of beauty?

Sara Teasdale

Friends are treasures.

Horace Bruns
