Little words hurt big ideas.

Get mad, then get over it.

Colin Powell

That is your trick, your bit of filthy magic: invisibility, and the anaesthetic power to deaden my attention in your direction.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries. Of perceiving the error in what was previously our conviction, of sensing the untruth in what was our truth, and of weighing the degree of opposition, and even of hostility, in what we took to be love.

Carl Gustav Jung

I've never seen an obese person who has said, 'I am well in my mind.' Happiness stops food being a compensation.

Pierre Dukan

Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.

Victor Hugo

I define a 'good person' as somebody who is fully conscious of their own limitations. They know their strengths, but they also know their 'shadow' - they know their weaknesses. In other words, they understand that there is no good without bad. Good and evil are really one, but we have broken them up in our consciousness. We polarize them.

John Bradshaw

Weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more: this created all gods and afterworlds.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Science views the blood-building and character-influencing ur-organism water merely as a chemical compound and provides millions of people with a liquid prepared from this point of view, which is everything but healthy water.

Viktor Schauberger

Whatever my own practice may be, I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.

Henry David Thoreau

Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea.

John Ciardi

The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually fearing that you'll make one.

Elbert Hubbard

On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.

Albert Camus
