What makes us threaten the things we want most?

I've been doing a lot of hiking, which I love.

Calista Flockhart

Psychiatric expert testimony: mendacity masquerading as medicine.

Thomas Szasz

Love is all you need.

Paul McCartney

My husband gave me a necklace. It's fake. I requested fake. Maybe I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head.

Rita Rudner

Why I came here, I know not; where I shall go it is useless to inquire -- in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

George Bernard Shaw

Joseph Ratzinger

What a curious picture it is to find man, homo sapiens, of divine origin, we are told, seriously considering going underground to escape the consequences of his own folly. With a little wisdom and foresight, surely it is not yet necessary to forsake life in the fresh air and in the warmth of the sunlight. What a paradox if our own cleverness in science should force us to live underground with the moles.

J. William Fulbright

Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do.

Emanuel Swedenborg

Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament.

Monica Seles

To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.

Novalis

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Mark Twain
