We live in an atmosphere of shame. We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinions, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins.

Companies, to date, have often used the excuse that they are only beholden to their shareholders, but we need shareholders to think of themselves as stakeholders in the well being of society as well.

Simon Mainwaring

Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.

Benjamin Disraeli

I just held her hand and tried to imagine the world without us and for about one second I was a good enough person to hope she died so she would never know that I was going, too. But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love.

John Green

The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?

Abel Ferrara

If God has created the world, his primary worry was certainly not to make its understanding easy for us

Albert Einstein

I will not attempt to deny the reasonableness and necessity of a party war but in carrying on that war all principles and rules of justice should not be departed from.

Robert Walpole

And what is literature but an insider's newsletter about affairs relating to molecules, of no importance to anything in the Universe but a few molecules who have a disease called 'thought'.

Kurt Vonnegut

Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.

Victor Kiam

The trade of advertising is now so near perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement. But as every art ought to be exercised in due subordination to the public good, I cannot but propose it as a moral question to these masters of the public ear, whether they do not sometimes play too wantonly with our passions.

Samuel Johnson

When I played God Bless The Queen, I was wondering if they was gonna dig us, then quite naturally I'd go on and try to get it together.

Jimi Hendrix

The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination.

Rabindranath Tagore, English Wri
