The little bit (two inches wide) of ivory on which I work with so fine a brush as produces little effect after much labour.

Ah! how annoying that the law doesn't allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.

I have lots of things to teach you now, in case we ever meet, concerning the message that was transmitted to me under a pine tree in North Carolina on a cold winter moonlit night. It said that Nothing Ever Happened, so don't worry. It's all like a dream. Everything is ecstasy, inside. We just don't know it because of our thinking-minds. But in our true blissful essence of mind is known that everything is alright forever and forever and forever. Close your eyes, let your hands and nerve-ends drop, stop breathing for 3 seconds, listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot, which was taught in immense milky way soft cloud innumerable worlds long ago and not even at all. It is all one vast awakened thing. I call it the golden eternity. It is perfect. We were never really born, we will never really die. It has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: Self is only an idea, a mortal idea. That which passes into everything is one thing. It's a dream already ended. There's nothing to be afraid of and nothing to be glad about. I know this from staring at mountains months on end. They never show any expression, they are like empty space. Do you think the emptiness of space will ever crumble away? Mountains will crumble, but the emptiness of space, which is the one universal essence of mind, the vast awakenerhood, empty and awake, will never crumble away because it was never born.

Jack Kerouac

The sense that someone else cares always helps, because it is the sense of love

George E. Woodberry

So there were two worlds: the perceived world, a dimension of adjectives, equations and brush strokes, a surface dazzling with our efforts to render it, but ultimately bearing only our own reflections; and the impenetrable world, the plumbless dark full of latent particles, the primordial cauldron which, like a mother, gives us our being but is a lifelong riddle.

Bia Lowe

The world basically and fundamentally is constituted on the basis of harmony. Everything works in co-operation with something else.

Preston Bradley

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today

St. Francis of Assisi

The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.

Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her.

In view of China's growing military strength and intentions, the best way to safeguard Asia's permanent peace and prosperity is to have all Asian countries join forces with other democratic countries in the world to form a global community of democracies.

Jim Costa

Such an emphasis on the immanence of God as Creator in, with, and under the natural processes of the world unveiled by the sciences is certainly in accord with all that the sciences have revealed since those debates of the nineteenth century.

Arthur Peacocke

The real people of genius were resolute workers not idle dreamers.

George Henry Lewes

... the situation was still too delicate for complete candor and the ultimate truth too unformed for statement.
