We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.

Our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite.

Karl Popper

There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.

Jules Ellinger

Linda Vester

If it wasn't for pick-pockets I'd have no sex life at all.

Rodney Dangerfield

Barbara Ehrenreich

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Yogi Berra

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Bible

I wanted to have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam and Sydney, and have the chance to work there.

Brendan Fraser

Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it.

Thornton T. Munger

I don't know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.

Ralph Abernathy

I am opposed to the use of public funds for private education.

Jonathan Kozol

We all get stuck. We all lose ourselves a little bit in a fantasy or in our jobs and forget how we feel about other things. It's really important to check yourself, to spend some time alone.
