Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.

God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.

Yes, you need substance in politics - but I think your style also says something about how you arrive at some of your conclusions.

Charles Kennedy

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

Isaac Newton

Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.

Erich Fromm

Lewis Thomas

A river is more than an amenity, it is a treasure.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberators -- they fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?

Barbra Streisand

Nawaf AlNasir AlSabah

So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.

America is just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

Hunter S. Thompson

You behold a range of exhausted volcanoes. Not a flame flickers on a single pallid crest.

Benjamin Disraeli

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
