Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.

Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.

Thomas Aquinas

You ought certainly to forgive them as a Christian, but never to admit them in your sight, or allow their names to be mentioned in your hearing

Jane Austen

Night poured over the desert. It came suddenly, in purple. In the clear air, the stars drilled down out of the sky, reminding any thoughtful watcher that it is in the deserts and high places that religions are generated. When men see nothing but bottomless infinity over their heads they have always had a driving and desperate urge to find someone to put in the way.

Terry Pratchett

Wisdom and prudence are always recompensed.

Sophie Segur

When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself.

Peter O'Toole

My name's Jennifer Ellison and one day I'm going to be famous!

Jennifer Ellison

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.

Woody Allen

The very idea that there is some kind of conflict between science and religion is completely mistaken. Science is a method for investigating experience... Religion is the fundamental, necessary internalization of our system of more permanent values.

Carroll Quigley

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.

Albert Einstein

Should I, too, prefer the title of 'non-Jewish Jew'? For some time, I would have identified myself strongly with the attitude expressed by Rosa Luxemburg, writing from prison in 1917 to her anguished friend Mathilde Wurm:An inordinate proportion of the Marxists I have known would probably have formulated their own views in much the same way. It was almost a point of honor not to engage in 'thinking with the blood,' to borrow a notable phrase from D.H. Lawrence, and to immerse Jewishness in other and wider struggles. Indeed, the old canard about 'rootless cosmopolitanism' finds a perverse sort of endorsement in Jewish internationalism: the more emphatically somebody stresses that sort of rhetoric about the suffering of others, the more likely I would be to assume that the speaker was a Jew. Does this mean that I think there are Jewish 'characteristics'? Yes, I think it must mean that.

Christopher Hitchens

By night an atheist half believes in God.

Edward Young

The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.

Friedrich Nietzsche
