If I had to make a list of six books which were to be preserved when all others were destroyed, I would certainly put Gulliver's Travels among them.

The power to guess the unseen from the seen, to trace the implications of things, to judge the whole piece by the pattern, the condition of feeling life in general so completely that you are well on your way to knowing any particular corner of it --this cluster of gifts may almost be said to constitute experience.

Henry James

Just beyond the ticket booth Father had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror.

Yann Martel

Books are the money of Literature, but only the counters of Science.

Thomas Henry Huxley

We'll take the cake with the red cherry on top.

Navjot Singh Sidhu

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

Socrates

I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.

Enrique Iglesias

Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I guess John Lennon had it right: give peace a chance.

Chris O'Donnell

A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself.

E. M. Forster

All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.

Walter Pater

I love short trips to New York; to me it is the finest three-day town on earth.

James Cameron

I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is nonconfrontational. We believe there are many forms of Scripture. What is true is true and will never change, whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.
