My last words? Life is no way to treat an animal, not even a mouse.

When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.

Larry David

A lifetime of happiness? No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.

George Bernard Shaw

We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.http://www.readbookonline.net/books/Swift/136/

Jonathan Swift, essay Thoughts o

Some writers hate to go to trials, but I love trials.

Ann Rule

Deep doubts, deep wisdom; small doubts, little wisdom.

Chinese Proverb

How, in such an alien and inhuman world, can so powerless a creature as man preserve his aspirations untarnished? A strange mystery it is that nature, omnipotent but blind, in the revolutions of her secular hurryings through the abysses of space, has brought forth at last a child, subject still to her power, but gifted with sight, with knowledge of good and evil, with the capacity of judging all the works of his unthinking mother. In spite of death, the mark and seal of the parental control, man is yet free, during his brief years, to examine, to criticize, to know, and in imagination to create. To him alone, in the world with which he is aquainted, this freedom belongs; and in this lies his superiority to the resistless forces that control his outward life.

Bertrand Russell

Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or not.

George Bernard Shaw

You must go after your wish. As soon as you start to pursue a dream, your life wakes up and everything has meaning.

Barbara Sher

A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humors and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.

Lord Chesterfield

The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.

Abraham Lincoln

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The doctors take the bodily evidence as the disease. . . . disease is itself an impudent opinion. He throws off the feelings of the sick and imparts to them his own which are perfect health, and his explanation destroys their feelings or disease. . . . He is like a captain who knows his business and feels confident in a storm, and his confidence sustains the crew and ship when both would be lost if the captain should give way to his fears.
