If you live what you believe, you will always have the respect of others.

Illusion is the first of all pleasures.

Oscar Wilde

Patience is a remedy for every sorrow.

Publilius Syrus

My name became known because I was, one might say accidentally the target of state repression and because so many people throughout the country and other parts of the world organized around the demand for my freedom.

Angela Davis

Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.

Victor Hugo

Everything you've learned in school as obvious becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.

Richard Buckminster Fuller

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Socrates
