What would be left of our tragedies if an insect were to present us his?

The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Under our form of government, the source of authority is supposed to be We the people. Not the slaves of a King. Our elected leaders are supposed to be public servants and not private masters.

Joe Jonas

People who cannot recognize a palpable absurdity are very much in the way of civilization.

Agnes Repplier

The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation.

John Cage

But when all was said the important thing was to love rather than to be loved.

W. Somerset Maugham

The natural term of the affection of the human animal for its offspring is six years.

George Bernard Shaw

I feel nothing but the accursed happiness I have dreaded all my life long: the happiness that comes as life goes, the happiness of yielding and dreaming instead of resisting and doing, the sweetness of the fruit that is going rotten.

George Bernard Shaw

As to her worshippers she came descending from her glowing skies So Aphrodite I have seen with shining eyes look through your eyes: One gleam of the ancestral face which lighted up the dawn for me: One fiery visitation of the love the gods desire in thee!

George William Russell

When you have two people who love each other, are happy and gay and really good work is being done by one or both of them, people are drawn to them as surely as migrating birds are drawn at night to a powerful beacon. If the two people were as solidly constructed as the beacon there would be little damage except to the birds. Those who attract people by their happiness and their performance are usually inexperienced. They do not know how not to be overrun and how to go away. They do not always learn about the good, the attractive, the charming, the soon-beloved, the generous, the understanding rich who have no bad qualities and who give each day the quality of a festival and who, when they have passed and taken the nourishment they needed, leave everything deader than the roots of any grass Attila's horses' hooves have ever scoured.

Ernest Hemingway

The weapons were conceived and created by a small band of physicists and chemists they remain a cataclysmic threat to the whole of human society and the natural environment.

Barry Commoner

Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go.

Hermann Hesse
